I am new to use this software and I can login via a EMS on a WIndows device but I want to use it on another linux device with only command line interface.
I am using forticlient 6.4 on centos 7. According to the manual, I tried
/opt/forticlient/epctrl
which returns
Starting epctrl...
Created default epctrl configuration
connect(127.0.0.1:45920): error Connection refused
So I tried
/opt/forticlient/epctrl -u
But I don't know the password of this default EMS
Failed to connect to confighandler: connect(127.0.0.1:45920): error Connection refused
Failed to unregister from EMS:
Also, there is no way to uninstall via yum as the software may have some way to protect itself.
What can I do to solve the issue? Thanks for your help.
Here epctrl is trying to connect to your localhost (127.0.0.1). If you want to connect to EMS you should use it that way:
sudo epctrl -r <EMS_IP> -p <port>
You should be able to remove the package this way:
sudo yum remove forticlient
