FortiClient VPN 7.0.8 NOT showing machine certificate

Hi,

 

I have upgraded my FortiClient VPN from 7.0.6 to 7.0.8 and now the FortiClient VPN doesnt show the machine certificate.

 

I had to give myself local admin privileges for the VPN client to display the machine certificate.

 

Anyone else have the same issue ?

 

Thanks

If its SSL VPN check setting < allow_standard_user_use_system_cert > 1 < / allow_standard_user_use_system_cert >

 

 

Got same problem. Fortinet surprise every new release.

Hi,

 

Where is this configuration file located?  I can select the user / computer certificate when creating the vpn profile but when logging in can only see user certificate.

It's xml configuration remote access profile in EMS management server

important on the certificates and the display is that the FortiClient is able to read the private key of the certificate AND look in the right place.

Machine certificates are stored on computer level and the end user might not have permission to read everything on the whole machine. If FortiClient cannot read the private key, the certificate cannot be used and will not be displayed for choice.

The line there I believe only changes where FortiClient is looking for the certificate (literally reading this line)

But in this case it's problem of 7.0.8 version. We have setup and correct certificates we was running for years since 6.0, but after upgrade to 7.0.8 these certificates disappear.
