Using a local machine certificate for SSLVPN connections

Hi team,

 

Can you tell me how to allow access to the local machine certificate in Forticlient?

 

I tried to change the configuration file and import it into Forticlient as written here [ https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiClient/Technical-Tip-How-to-use-certificates-from-Local-machi... . But Forticlient won't load it.

 

FortiGate , FortiClient

I wrote about this article. See the link in my first post. Unfortanly i can't import the modified XML configuration into Forticlient. Could you try to do that in your Forticlient? Please let me know the result! Thanks !

Hi, 

I mean to the configuration of your Forticlient. Have you tried configuring your Forticlient as described in the manual?

Hi, 

 

No. Could you share the manual with me?

The "manual" was shared above. It's just a tech doc explaining how to export the XML config file, make the changes required and re-import it.
