I have installed forticlient_vpn_7.2.2.0753_amd64.deb on a Debian system and an unable
to connect. The forticlient gui starts and I configure the connection as instructed by the network
administrator. I have tried both Debian 11 and Debian 12 with the same results. When I click "SAML Login" on the forticlient vpn screen showing the vpn name nothing happens. No errors, no authentication popup, and no connection is made.

Hi @foleda,
Do you have remote gateway with https:// on FortiClient? If yes, try removing it and try again.

That was it. https:// was included in the instructions I got from the network admin, which worked with clients on Windows machines. Once I removed it from the gateway configuration on my Linux machine it started working. Thanks.
