FortiClient VPN-only installer (macOS .pkg)

[martyyy]

Hi

I need FortiClient VPN Online Installer on macOS using .pkg, with silent installation and preconfigured VPN, via ManageEngine Endpoint Central.
So, Can I get the VPN-client only .pkg for MAC (not .dmg)? Currently we are using free version of FortiClient.

We are using FortiGate at our company and have been using the FortiClient VPN client downloaded from the official Fortinet website. However, the available macOS download is a .dmg file, which only supports GUI-based installation.

For software automation purposes, we require a .pkg version of the FortiClient installer (for macOS).

If the .pkg version is only available with a licensed product, could you please let us know which specific product or license is required to obtain it?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

TIA :)

Hi martyyy, I got the following answer for you:

There are no options available to create a vpn-only installer with pre-configured vpn settings for silent installation. A repackaging tool would be needed.
Also, MacOS will always need to approve the use of FortiTray and grant full disk access.

* With EMS, a vpn-only FortiClient with vpn settings can be created.
