FortiClient VPN: client certificate (encrypted) selection no longer working after upgrade to 7.0.9
I had 7.0.3 and updated to latest FortiClient. Windows is 11 Version 22H2.
And now I can't see any certificates to select. Note: all my certificates are encrypted (a.i. have key symbol in User Certificates management).
I tried the suggestion from https://community.fortinet.com/t5/Support-Forum/FortiClient-VPN-7-0-8-NOT-showing-machine-certificat... without luck.
Tried to reinstall the certificate.
Made sure it's on the local account.
If I leave it to prompt for certificate, I get no prompt on login attempt.
Windows 10 retest: only simple unencrypted certificates are displayed in the selector.
The latest version(s) seems to have lost the ability to read such certificates
Any other ideas ?

I have a 2nd connection possibility, meaning using Azure MFA and that does the login in browser. In it, it has enough rights to read the certificate, so I can login like that.
Would be nice if I find what is suddenly wrong with the rights of the FortiClient VPN.
My Windows user (MS account) is a local admin already.

Hi @mariusi,
Is it happen with Win 11 only? Can you try 7.0.9 on Win 10 and see if the behavior is the same?

I have another PC with Win10.
Tried on it now. Some certificates are available for selection there, but only certificates without a key are displayed (from all that I see under the Personal folder in Manage User Certificates).
This matches the behaviour in the Win11 machine where I only have encrypted certicates, so none is displayed.
So not related to Windows version as far as I see.
I guess the 7.0.8/9 version lost the ability to read this kind of certificates.
