Hello everyone,
I am new to FortiClient EMS and currently in a roll-out state.
How do I prevent unwanted computers from connecting to the EMS? (EMS on-prem, running in a DMZ and public available to the internet)
In theory someone can install FortiClient and connect to our EMS.
I do install FortiClient for our users because they do not have admin privileges - so I did not enable user verification.
Is there any other way to prevent unwanted devices from connecting to EMS?

Hi miciti,
Yes correct, an invitation code.
Yes, you can use the 'switch by invitation' method.
Be careful when enabling 'enforce invitation-only registration'. If this option is enabled, if there is any endpoint who is currently joined to EMS using IP/FQDN, they all will be disconnected.
I'm still wondering if it's really so that the Forticlient can't be installed in a user-friendly way, where the user doesn't have to do anything else than log in to register to EMS cloud. It's just hard to believe :)
There is an option to set a 'telemetry-key' (something like password) when joining to EMS, only those who have the 'telemetry-key' can join to EMS.
Refer: https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.2.5/ems-administration-guide/319002/configuring-ems...
*look for 'FortiClient telemetry connection key'
Hello everyone, i'm trying also to solve this by limiting only the invited user to enroll to the ems. Reading the manual guide i cannot really follow the logic since it keep redirecting me from one link to the other. So far i have done this:
1- I have added my domain
2- In User Management i have authorized only the groups i want ( each user who can connect to VPN must be member of and AD group. This is due to Forti Auth )
3- In menu Endpoints > Invitation i have created a individual invitation (just for test purposes). The verification type i have selected Domain and it asks me to select the single user.
Is this enough ? Since, i get my email invitation but i have tried to enter my ldap credentials and it want authenticate. I have tried: my username; my domain/my username; my email address but still it want authenticate
