I am currently working with the new FortiClient 6 and I tried to use the same configuration file as in version 5. We configured auto connect based on a certificate with version 5 and it always auto connected fine. Now with version 6 the client does not autoconnect anylonger instead the GUI shows up and wants me to click connect.
This is my configuration (basically):
<forticlient_configuration>
<vpn>
<options>
<current_connection_name>company AON</current_connection_name>
<current_connection_type>ssl</current_connection_type>
<autoconnect_tunnel>company AON</autoconnect_tunnel>
