Hi,
after updating a Fortigate 60E from version 7.0.7 to version 7.0.8 the RDP via SSL WEB VPN no longer works with any PC, the error "Connection closed!" always appears. If I perform a NAT of the port 3389 from the WAN to the LAN I enter the PC correctly.
I have changed all the possible parameters but I cannot log in, whether I enter my credentials in the bookmark or enter them by hand.
I have already tried to follow this KB but nothing, error: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-Unable-to-take-RDP-of-machines-via-SSL-VPN...
Has anyone had the same problem?
Solved! Go to Solution.
jbro - did you ever find a solution? We upgraded to 7.0.12 and are having the same issue.
FortiMax -
Thank you so much for your reply.
Unfortunately, no joy for us using that fix. Appreciate the reply though as we are out of ideas here. Packet sniffing our RDP gateway server and we don't see any traffic trying to traverse from the Fortinet so it does seem like it's just instaclosing the connection on that end. Packet sniffs of other servers in that same subnet show normal traffic traversing and doing a config compare between firmware upgrades shows nothing of note changed.
Will continue to update if we figure this out. Thanks for all your help.
So - an update - believe it or not this did actually help us ... but in a weird workaround kind of way.
First, the load-balancing-info change did make a difference. However, it doesn't resolve the issue, but for whatever reason, if you pass blank or incorrect credentials on the /sslvpn/frdsviewer.html page you can get to the credentials page of our RDP Gateway server which will allow users to at least work for now.
Such a strange, strange problem.
I have same issue and "set load-balancing-info NULL" doesnt help!
Hey there FortiMax_it - did you ever get a solution? I am having the same issue on 7.0.12.
We're having the samem issue after upgrading to 7.0.12. I have a ticket open with support. We'll see......
