FortiClient (macOS) cannot restore configuration file

[cfitzner]

Hi guys,

installed FortiClient (macOS) 7.0.0 build 0022 recently on my MacMini with macOS Big Sur 11.4.

The creation of the VPN, as well as the remote access worked fine. I also was able to generate a backup of the configuration.

Unfortunately the restore of the configuration does not work:

I choose the configuration file, fill the password, and click OK. At that moment the application simply get stuck and nothing more happens.

Many Thanks for your great work!!!

I am facing the same issue. Anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

Apparently MacOS version does not support the "authentication" attribute in the <forticlient_configuration> root tag. If you remove it, it gets imported but the encrypted values no longer work.
