FortiClient - disconnect/reconnect issue

Hi,

 

Has anyone encountered the situation where a user disconnects from idle-timeout ( 300s ) and the Reconnecting just keep happening after a good couple of seconds ( about 60s ) and lots of logs with SSL web application blocked ?

FGT : 7.0.15 and FCT 7.2.4 ( other FCT versions also have this issue )

The sslvpn configuration looks like this ( some lines have been left out ) :

 

config vpn ssl settings
    set ssl-min-proto-ver tls1-1
    set banned-cipher CAMELLIA 3DES SHA1 STATIC
    set ssl-client-renegotiation enable
    set auth-timeout 43200
    set login-attempt-limit 3
    set login-block-time 300
    set idle-timeout 300
    set login-timeout 120
    set dtls-hello-timeout 30
    set default-portal "no-access"
    config authentication-rule
        edit 1
            set groups "SSLVPN"
            set portal "tunnel-access"
        next
    end
    set tunnel-connect-without-reauth enable
    set tunnel-user-session-timeout 60
end

 

 

 

config vpn ssl web portal
    edit "tunnel-access"
        set tunnel-mode enable
        set forticlient-download disable
        set save-password enable
        set ip-pools "SSLVPN_TUNNEL_ADDR1"
    next
    edit "no-access"
        set forticlient-download disable
    next
end

 

I also replace the default SSLVPN Login page available from the Internet to display an empty page with a custom page title

 

config system replacemsg-group
    edit "default"
        set comment "Default replacement message group."
        config sslvpn
            edit "sslvpn-login"
                set buffer "<!DOCTYPE html><html lang=\"en\" class=\"main-app\"> <head> <meta charset=\"UTF-8\"> <meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=8; IE=EDGE\"> <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1\"> <link href=\"/css/main-blue.css\" rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\"> <title> Invalid page </title> </head> <body> <div class=\"view-container\"> <form class=\"prompt\" action=\"%%SSL_ACT%%\" method=\"%%SSL_METHOD%%\" name=\"f\" autocomplete=\"off\"> </form> </div> </body></html>"
                set header http
                set format html
            next
        end
    next
end

Hi @funkylicious 

Try to modify the login timeout and dtls-hello-timeout:
config vpn ssl settings
set login-timeout 180
set dtls-hello-timeout 60
end

Please review the following articles:

Hi,
I will try them, but for now we have increased the idle-timeout so it never disconnects the users but will try them also if needed.

I was curious about the logs and why they were present during the reconnect.

 

Thanks.
