Hello,

I would like to connect and disconnect the client ssl vpn FortiClient in command line. I would like to connect the vpn before backup and disconnect after the backup.

How do i do  ?

Thanks to your answers.

Check out the image I attached to my previous post. It shows the CLI syntax you would use to perform all the available operations.

Good post,  thanks for info.  Would be great if you could send the password as well. 

Assume this isnt something that can be done?
