Hi All,
I currently have a client who uses the FortiClient VPN (Zero trust Fabric Agent) Version 7.4.0.1658. Using the GUI work fine, no problems. However, when trying using the CLI (from this article) it fails. The process I followed was.
All that happens is the GUI appears, then if I click connect it flashes "connecting", then immediately back to "Disconnected". I've upped the logging of the FortiClient SSLVPN to "everything" but can't find the logs - LOL.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards:
Tony.

Hey folks,
I just had a HP Wolf Security update force a reboot, and now it's working fine... very weird! It connects first time via GUI & CLI. No idea what that's about.
I hope I haven't wasted your time.
Have a good day.
Tony.
Hi,
Can you please share on which OS you are running Forticlient via CLI?
Do you have EMS for Forticlient?
Please refer to this article:- Possible reasons for FortiClient SSL VPN ... - Fortinet Community
Hey Rahul,
No, we don't have EMS. I'll take a look at the "Possible reasons for FortiClient SSL VPN connectivity failure...." and see how it goes. The FortiSSLVPNclient.exe (when I use the GUI) doesn't save the connections.
When I use the CLI (C:\Software\SSLVPNcmdline>FortiSSLVPNclient.exe connect -s MYCO -h myco.hostname.com:9443 -u adminid:password i -m -q) it displays the UI and fails to connect.
If I use the FortiClient - Zero Trust Fabric Agent UI, it connects fine.

Hi Arahman,
Thanks for replying, however I have looked at that article, I referred to it in my post
"However, when trying using the CLI (from this article) it fails."
