FortiClientEMS 7.4.4 - Howto install OS security patches

Hi all,
I used to install all available host OS (Ubuntu 22.04) patches for my FortiClientEMS server(s). Especially as they have to be reachable via Internet. Last updates seem to have changed the login shell to emscli. How do I keep the OS patched?

best regards

Hi Kernal

Same question here. In this case I guess we say goodbye to direct OS patches, and we apply only updates provided by Fortinet, and I hope they include the OS patches as well.

Meanwhile keep your VM maximum protected by your firewall.
