SSL VPN Connection is Down Message at 40%

[raghav-verma]

Hello Team,

I am unable to connect to my client's VPN.

When my team in USA/Canada uses the same SSL-VPN configuration, they are able to connect to VPN successfully. At 40%, I get "SSL VPN Connection is Down".

Client has also confirmed that they are not blocking any IP from India.

I have Windows 10 Pro and Forticlient Version is 7.2.4.0972

Please help me solve this issue.

Thanks,

Dear raghav-verma,

Is the issue with all the machines and users? Kindly refer to the document provided by Anthony_E if you just need to click "Yes" to accept the untrusted certificate acknowledgement.

If still the same despite of that, kindly follow our troubleshooting article to debug sslvpn.

Hello @raghav-verma 

Please check below-mentioned article. Generally, if the SSLVPN stuck at 40%, then it is usually a certificate related issue.

Hello,

For your login, are you using SAML SSO or just with a user that is referenced on your FortiGate?

It is possible that you are encountering an issue with FortiClient 7.2.4. You may try to download a lower version of FortiClient in the support portal and kindly try if it would connect.

Thank you.

Using a user to login.

I am not eligible to download an older version. Getting below message on Support Portal.
