Forticlient EMS 7.2 and FQDN

[chedstrom]

Fortigate 7.2.9

Forticlient 7.2.4.0972

Forticlient EMS 7.2.4.983

I've gotten this to work using just the internal IP address over ZTNA for connecting to an RDP server. 

I followed the steps to configure ZTNA for use with FQDN (ZTNA TCP forwarding access proxy with FQDN example | FortiGate / FortiOS 7.2.0 | Fortinet Document L...)

When I do a name resolution for my RDP server, it resolves to the VIP 10.235.0.3, as expected. Yet when I try to connect, it fails.

Is there a better document for using FQDN with ZTNA since the document is for 7.2.0 and my fortigate is 7.2.9?

Hello @chedstrom,

you can check following guide that shows the config related top FQDN-based ZTNA TCP forwarding proxy.

7.2 and later no longer modifies the host files so why would I go backwards?

When you ping the related FQDN from FGT does it resolve it to its IP address?

[chedstrom]

The VIP or the inside IP? See my original post.

[AEK]

I mean from the FortiGate, not from the client.

[chedstrom]

Why would the public IP need to accept ICMP?

[AEK]

I mean DNS resolution. In case you use FQDN in your ZTNA server config, can your FG resolve the FQDN of your back-end server to its correct IP address?

[chedstrom]

Yes the server behind the Fortigate can be resolved by its FQDN and responds to ICMP from the Fortigate.
