Issue with FortiClient on Debian 12 - Keytar Error & VPN Disconnecting

 

Hello,

I recently installed FortiClient on my Debian 12 system. I tried both installing the `.deb` package directly and using the repository method. While the installation process completes successfully in both cases, I'm encountering a couple of issues:

1. Keytar Error with Root Access: When I try to open FortiClient VPN with root access, I receive a "keytar error" message. However, this error does not appear when I open the application with a regular user account.

2. VPN Disconnects Immediately: Regardless of the user account used to open FortiClient, the VPN connects but then immediately disconnects.

Has anyone else experienced these issues? Are there any known fixes or workarounds? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello

I guess you mean FortiClient VPN, not FortiClient.

In case you installed version 7.4.0, try install 7.2.4 or 7.0.13 instead, they should work without issue.
