Greetings,

To deploy FortiClient VPN with Intune for macOS, you can follow these steps:

1. Download the FortiClient_<version.build>_macosx.Intune.mobileconfig sample configuration profile file from Fortinet Service & Support > Firmware Images > FortiClientMac > Mac > select the appropriate version.

2. Prepare the configuration profile by adding the EMS ZTNA root CA certificate: - On a macOS device with FortiClient registered to EMS, locate the root CA certificate in /Library/Application Support/Fortinet/FortiClient/data/ca_certs/ztna_certs. - Copy the certificate content to a text editor. - Open the configuration profile file in a text editor and add the certificate content between <data> and </data>.

3. Deploy the configuration profile using Intune to grant permissions for full disk access, loading system extensions, and network access for VPN, Web Filter, and Proxy. By following these steps, you can deploy FortiClient VPN with Intune for macOS successfully.
