I ended up opening another ticket with Fortinet because IPS engine 3.0289 still has an issue.

 

They ended up providing me 3.0173.   I would open a ticket and ask for this ips engine.

I take back my statement this version is running fine.

 

IT'S A DISASTER!  Both units we were testing in production have had serious issues. I will be rolling them back to 5.2.8 tonight, hopefully that goes as planned. But 5.2.9 is a BUGGY MESS. Stick with 5.2.8 if you are on it, and wait this one out.

 

VPN's not working, IPS crashes, blah blah blah.

That's a bummer. Hopefully they fix the issue

We've also had the problem on all our 60D's and 90D's. I've opened a ticket with Fortinet to get the updated IPS Engine but still waiting. As a quick fix/workaround we stopped the IPS Engine by issuing the following command:

 

diag test application ipsmonitor 98

 

Not an ideal solution to stop the IPS Engine but user's couldn't work.

 

Apparently the issue is fixed in 5.2.10 but no release date yet.

For us 5.2.9 broke SSH, HTTPS, and SSL VPN on a Fortigate 60d on the wan1 interface.

The same services where still available on wan2, SSL VPN did not work, though.

Reverting to 5.2.8 fixed all mentioned issues.

Pretty bad experience.

Can confirm related issues on 200D. Broken SSL interception generating random "bad cypher" errors in Chrome. reverted to 5.2.8
