ForticlientVPN Backup on Windows, Restore from MacOS

[servertechnic]

Hello,

I have 75+ saved vpn connections on my windows machine.

I backed up my configurations from Windows ForticlientVPN. When I restore the conf file to my MacOS device, username and passwords appear as "EncX....". How can I solve this problem? Thanks.

On MacOS when you restore config, username and passwords are encrypted (EncX...) and this is for security reasons so no-one that has your backup can also have your username/password.

In this case the best option for you is to use EMS to redeploy SSLVPN clients on new systems.

Thanks xshkurti,

I don't have EMS, i am using free edition of FortiClientVPN.

Backup on Windows -> restore on Windows no problem. It asks config password and restores whole configuration (usernames and passwords).

Why backupped configuration file from Windows won't restore to Macos or Linux?

Its very easy . Just open the backupfile.cfg by Notepad , you will know what i'm talking about
