Forticlient 6.0 - Unable to have unique VPN connection for concurrent users on Shared VM

[vishstuff12]

Hi Team,

I am using Forticlient 6.0 standalone on a Virtual machine which is shared by multiple users with unique logins.

When 2 user concurrently login to the VM and then login to the Forticlient VPN concurrently it overrides users sessions.

Unable to have unique VPN connections for each concurrent users on Shared VM.

Please let me know how to resolve this i

Regards,

Hi Vishal

If I'm not wrong, FortiClient is designed to run single instance and connect to one VPN server at a time.

If you want multiple concurrent VPN connections on the same machine then you should use other VPN clients.

Hi AEK,

We want is multiple users to connect to same VPN server at the same time using Forticlient which is installed on the shared VM. With shared VM multiple users can connect to the VM at the same time.

Hello,

it's not possible due computer design. There is only one routing table/network stack shared by all resources in operating system.

You can do multiple vpn sessions only in ssl vpn web mode from web browsers, not in tunnel mode with Forticlients.

If you need tunnel mode, you must have dedicated VMs for each user
