| Description | This article describes the issue of a blank page after a successful SSL VPN web login due to a changing public IP address. |
| Scope | FortiGate v7.4.7 and v7.4.8. |
| Solution |
Certain Mobile Service Providers assign a public IP address to a client and change it very often, periodically.
Using v7.4.7, this does not seem to be affecting the SSL VPN Web Mode connection. But after the upgrade to v7.4.8, the client is getting a blank page after a successful SSL VPN login.
The debug on version v7.4.8 showed this error.
[318:root:5]deconstruct_session_id:494 decode session id ok, user=[user01], group=[VPN_Users],authserver=[user01],portal=
To mitigate this, there is an option in the VPN settings that can be disabled.

SSL VPN will be limited to specific FortiGate models; refer to this KB article: Technical Tip: SSL VPN support on FortiGate models for more information. Web Mode will be referred to as Agentless VPN.
