I have this app that I got from forinet, called forticlient for Mac, to connect remotely to my network. I have my IP and I need the site name. I have a few ideas of what the site name is but I didn't even think I needed it as it only asks for it when I click the little sync arrows button to revel the field. This is very frustrating as I need to access my forinet network remotely from locations outside of my network. How can I establish a connect with the app?
Hey, jthomas. I'd ask your endpoint server admin if you actually need a site name of the endpoint management server (EMS). If you can't contact your EMS admin, try connecting without the site name (it'll connect to a Default site on EMS). Then, you'll receive endpoint profile with remote network settings (VPN) which will hopefully get you going (https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.4.5/administration-guide/997516/connecting-forticli...)
