Hello. My FortiGates manages a bunch of FortiSwitches. My gates runs 7.0.5 and my switches are at 7.0.4. At one time I could right-click on a managed switch in FortiOS UI and choose Connect to cli, and a fresh ssh session would open. Now I get percent_expand: unknown key %H. I know I read about this problem in a release note somewhere and the fix was also listed. I can't find that article again for some reason. Has anyone else seen this and do you know the fix or can you send me the reference? Thanks!

Does this happen when you try connecting to CLI of all your switches or just one?
What happens if you right-click and select "Diagnostics & Tools" and then click the CLI Access tab? Same error?
Hello. Its happening to all switches. If I follow your directions and click the CLI Access Tab I get the same result percent_expand: unknown key %H. Also, some switches in the UI show Diagnostics & Tools greyed out.
Ever heard of this before?
I have not seen this before, no. Have you opened a ticket with TAC?
Working with TAC. No solution yet.
Solved by TAC. When I upgraded to 7.0.5 on my gates, or maybe on an earlier upgrade, the following config got set:
config switch-controller global
set fips-enforce enable
Well FIPS can cause all sorts of issues and often breaks stuff. We set that to disabled, and while it took a little time to take effect, I no longer see that cryptic error. Whew!
Spoke too soon. While it appeared this was fixed, the problem returned the next day. Even with FIPS disabled! It's not a browser cache issue or anything like that. I've opened a fresh TAC case and referenced the last ticket. I'll bet this will have to go to development to investigate. So weird.
