SSLVPN with client certificate on Android

Hello,

 

I use the forticlient vpn an android 8.1 for sslvpn. I would like to use client certificates and username/password to authenticate. I need to use the certificate store from my android device to select the client certificate. At the moment only an import of a PKCS12 is possible.

Is there any chance to use the certificate store from android? I know other vpn clients like openvpn can use this, but these client can not connect to my fortigate 101E.

 

Thanks

 

Markus

We're five years too late :) , but this functionality is indeed available in current Android FortiClient (verified with the free 7.4.0 version).

When editing the SSL-VPN profile in the app, there's two available choices when you tap on "Certificate" option:

  • Keychain: let's you pick an existing certificate from the certificate store
  • Filesystem: let's you pick an arbitrary PKCS#12 file from the filesystem (or any other attached storage: Google Drive, Dropbox, ...)
