FortiClient VPN Editor for CLI

[Olav]

Hello, I know the FortiClient VPN Editor can be used to change connection settings, but is there a way to change these settings by CLI or another (registry-) tool? With the VPN Editor Tool we can only change the settings for ONE vpn connection We have different users with more than one (also different) VPN connection. We want to push different configurations to these users flexible and easily. Greets, Olav

I am afraid there is no CLI to change VPN setting.

@Chris.Lin: It would help a lot to know where FC config is kept - in files, in which folder then, or in the registry? With FC 4.2.x I could locate a branch in the registry and with proper tools one could script the config. Only that the FC needed a restart to put the changed params into operation.

Hi Olav, you could export all FCT settings to xml file with FCConfig.exe utility (On Win platform you can find it at FCT installation folder - C:\Program Files (x86)\Fortinet\FortiClient\), modify setting (see http://docs.fortinet.com/uploaded/files/2076/forticlient-xml-52.pdf) and import back to FCT again with FCConfig.exe. You can prepare xml file and tell you users how to import. BTW. syntax for FCConfig is very easy, see " fcconfig.exe -help"

Managing multiple VPN connections can be tricky! While the FortiClient VPN Editor works for individual settings, using scripts for CLI might help automate the process across users.

On a related note, I often share productivity tips on my site, InShot Pros, which might offer insights into managing various tools efficiently. Hope that helps!
