New os-check for ssl vpn in FortiManager

[Abdal_opr]

Hello,

I want to create a new operating system to include it in the OS checklist in the VPN SSL web portal configuration on FortiManager. I see that the current list includes Windows and macOS.

My question is, how can I create a new OS entry for Linux Ubuntu 22.04, for example? How does FortiGate determine the version of the OS?

Thank you.

Hello,

To create a new OS entry for Linux Ubuntu 22.04 on FortiGate,

1. Install the GPG key: - Run the command: 'wget -O - https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/forticlient/7.2/debian/DEB-GPG-KEY | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/repo.fortinet.com.gpg'
2. Create a new sources list file: Create a file named '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/repo.fortinet.com.list' with the following content: `deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.fortinet.com/repo/forticlient/7.2/ubuntu/ /stable multiverse `
3. Update the package lists: Run: 'sudo apt-get update'.
4. Install FortiClient: Execute: 'sudo apt install forticlient' FortiGate determines the version of the OS by analyzing the system information provided by the OS itself.

This information is usually retrieved through system calls or commands that query the OS kernel or system files for version details.

In the case of Linux systems, FortiGate can determine the OS version by examining the output of commands like 'lsb_release -a' or by checking specific system files that contain version information.

Hope it will help you!
