Hello, we are using the free version of FortiClient to connect users to our Fortigate and have since used SSLVPN. We are trying to transition to IPsec but I'm having trouble trying to automate the process of installation and configuration.
I've tried this technical tip:
Deploy the FortiClient VPN configuration ... - Fortinet Community
which mostly works with the exception of the PSK, I have to enter it manually on every device for it to connect. Is there a workaround for this? According to the technical tip it should work this way
Thanks in advance
Hi
If I remember well it doesn't work for password and PSK. This is normal behavior for security.
