Hi,
This drives me crazy and I didn't find any solution that is working as expected.
Our Setup
2 FGT 1000C Active-Active Cluster (Firmware v5.2.3,build670)
12 Forti Access Points 221B (Firmware: v5.2-build0225)
Forticlient 5.2.3.0663
Port 12 dedicatet for Forti APs
Port 3 Internal LAN
SSID s24.ito (Enterprise Authenticated)
We want to achive that Mobile Devices can connect to several Services (like Fileshare) in the Inside LAN. For security reasons this only would be allowed, if the Forticlient is compliant with the designated profile.
What happens...
- If I connect my Notebook to the Internal LAN (wired) the Forticlient registers silently to the Fortigate and Status stay On-Net
- If I connect to the Wireless Network (s24.ito), the Forticlient doesn't register silent and after a while (about 2mins) the On-Net Status shows offline, thus doesn't allow me to connect to Internal Services
- If I register manual (I can see the Fortiagte with IP of the s24.ito Network), it registers successfully, but after a while the On-Net Status also goes offline.
- If I go back to wired connection, the Client registers automaticly (silent as expected) and stay On-Line
Here's what I configured:

<name>WLAN</name>
<registration_password>secret</registration_password>
[style="background-color: #ffff00;"]<addresses><ssid-address>:8010</addresses>[/style]
</fortigate>
Do I miss something, or is there any other thing that I haven't configured yet?
Any help is is appreciated, thank you
Best,
Markus

I have FGT running 5.2.3 and FAP 5.2.3, FCT 5.2.3. Both my LAN and WIFI listen to forticlient registration.
FortiClient XML config is just like yours "<addresses><ssid-address>:8010;<lan-address>:8010</addresses>"
The silent registration works, but it takes about 2 minutes from FortiClient notices itself "Offline" to it registers again.
There are two settings on FortiGate may be relevant:
config endpoint-control settings set forticlient-keepalive-interval 120 set forticlient-sys-update-interval 720 end

Hi Chris,
Thank you, the set forticlient-keepalive-interval 120 does the trick. After that, it was also no longer neccessary to use both IP Addresses in the Endpoint Settings - the Client stays On-Line, great.
Best regards,
Markus
