Restore config - missing password field - Apple silicon

[aberenyi]

Hi there,

I'm trying to restore an ecrypted configuration, however, it looks like the Password field is missing in the macOS (14.5) FortiClient VPN (7.4.0.1645)

It would seem that the Windows version of FortiClient (7.4.0.1658) does indeed support this.

 

Is there a way to work around the issue until it's resolved?

Cheers,

Attila

Have you tried with a different version of  FCT ?

No I have not, as this is the only available version on the Downloads page.

For windows there is a similar Problem while restoring to another PC. On windows i created a solution it might help you out as well. Commands can be a little bit different on mac os.

go to the Device where you want to take the backup file from

Start Powershell as Administrator
go to this Path
```
PS C:\Windows\system32> cd "C:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient"
```
to export the file type this
```
PS C:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient> .\FCConfig -m all -f E:\MasterConf10.conf -o export -i 1 -p Passwort1234
```
Transfer the created File via USB Stick to the next PC
Open Powershell and go back to this path

```
PS C:\Windows\system32> cd "C:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient"
```
to import the file type this

```
PS C:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient> .\FCConfig -m all -f E:\MasterConf10.conf -o import -i 1 -p Passwort1234
```

E:\ was in this case the USB-Drive

Passwort1234 is a placeholder for the password
