SSL-VPN on Fortigate-VM

I' m trying to test the SSL-VPN feature on a Fortigate-VM in trial mode (so no license yet). Should this work? I think I' ve configured everything correctly, but I don' t get a login-page when I go to the https:// url of the fortigate-vm. In IE, I get nothing. In firefox, I get an error: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap. Thanks!

Solved! You have to use an old version of Firefox. Use, as example, Firefox 2.0.0.20 and, in about:config, set security.ssl3.rsa_rc4_40_md5 as true Now you will be able to access via https. With trial version the certificate is RSA SHA1 512 bits and this certificate is not supported in recent browser version. Attention, you must use an old version (I think 18 and older).

sorry for the late reply. But still doesn' t work... I tried with firefox 2.0.0.20, and now I do get the certificate warning (which is OK), but when I try to continue, I get an HTTP Error 400. Any ideas?

At Forti-VM (unlicenced) there is this problem with this low encryption. I always add http to allowaccess. For testing this works to get webGUI. To connect to SSL-Portal there may be a problem. Have you tried to allow low encryption? In FOS5 its only via CLI
config vpn ssl settings
 set algorithm <cipher_suite>
Have you tested SSL in tunnel-mode with the client?
