Mac User Issues

Hope someone can help.

 

I have a MacOS user who is struggling to connect to Forticlient VPN.

 

The steps taken to resolve this have been:

 

Upgrade to latest MacOS (Big Sur)

Install Latest Forticlient version

Permissions granted to following:

  [ol]
  • fcaptmon

    [/ol] [ol]
  • fctservctl

    [/ol] [ol]
  • fmon

    [/ol] [ol]
  • fmon2

    [/ol] [ol]
  • FortiClient

    [/ol]

     

    A reinstall has also been attempted several times of the latest Forticlient but the client just sits on "Connecting" and occasionally an error "cannot connect to VPN"

     

    The user has a valid and up to date certificate as well but still no luck.

    Hi @enable_user,

    Did you try with Ethernet or WIFI? Also, you can export the FortiClient logs to see if is there any error from the FortiClient itself.

    So far what I have seen is that Forticlient version 6.4.x is best working for Mac. Rest OpenForti is another option.
