VPN stuck at status 98%

We are running Windows Server 2012 R2. We have installed the most recent FortiNet client (vpn only), version 5.2.0.0591. We have configured an SSL-VPN connection. When we click on the " connect" button, the status progresses all the way to 98% and then hangs. We have disabled the windows firewall, do not have any anti virus software installed, no group policies are being applied, and no other applications are running when we attempt to make the VPN connection. Thanks for helping!

Hi,

I seem to be experiencing this problem, or very similar problem. 

 

Forticlient hangs at 98% while connecting.  But this only happen occasionally -- especially if the connect dropped for some reason and I try to connect again (possibly every time this happens).

 

I am able to get Forticlient to connect if I reboot my machine.  So maybe this is not the identical problem discussed here.  Sometimes it gives the "You already have an open SSL VPN connection" warning, but not always. Either way, it stops at 98%, after a minute or so, it just clears the login fields of the forticlient window as if nothing had ever happened.

 

Rebooting my machine "resets" something and makes connection possible.  But this is a frustrating workaround.  

 

Is there a process or service I should be able to restart that would have the same effect as rebooting?

Hi guys,

 

I have this Windows 8.1 issue; SSL client connects then disconnects after 10s; any hint to make this work?

Server is Fortigate 100D with 5.2.2

 

Thanks in advance!

I also had encountered that problem many times. My solution for this problem and somehow it always works:

1. Remove SSL VPN client from computer 2. Restart computer 3. Install newest VPN SSL client software

4. Configure new connection  5. Tick "Keep connection alive until manually stopped"

Here is my similar situation and the solution. I did contact technical support and they directed me to the Microsoft forums. I adapted my solution from the link they provided.

 

FG200B - 5.2.2

Vendor cannot connect to SSL VPN after upgrading from SSLVPN client 4.x to FortiClient 5.x from forticlient.com

 

I installed the same client to test. Before changing anything my 4.x SSL VPN client worked just fine. After switching to FortiClient 5.x my VPN connection now fails at 98%. I open support ticket and tell support the 5.x client is broken. after a lot of back and forth talk, I downgrade back to my 4.x client with the same failure at 98%. Now I realize it is not a 5.x client issue.

 

Now that I have resolved this, my theory is that the WAN Miniport adapter (purely software defined in the registry) got corrupted either during the 4.x uninstall, the 5.x install, or the 4.x > 5.x upgrade. [I cannot remember if I upgraded or uninstalled/installed]

 

my solution is below:

 

Windows RAS Error 720 - PPP VPN fails or disconnects http://www.paulscomputers...les/article.php?ID=298

 

FG200D 5.6.5 (HA) - primary [size="1"]FWF50B' s 4.3.x, FG60D's 5.2.x, FG60E's 5.4.x                   [Did my post help you? Please rate my post.][/size] FAZ-VM 5.6.5  |  Fortimail 5.3.11 Network+, Security+

We're working with Microsoft, and will hopefully have a fix soon. Both companies are aware of the issue. Thank you for sharing the WAN Miniport adapter resolution.

Christopher,

 

Your post indicates that this is a known issue and that Fortinet and Microsoft are working on it. Can you please provide an update?

Hi,

after having encountered the 98% disconnect problem too, I found something that worked for me:

I was charging my mobile over USB, and it provides a modem to Windows. Although the ISDN device is selected for fortissl, and although "repairing" FortiClient and rebooting while the phone was charging, I couldn't connect. After disconnecting the Phone, "repairing" the FortiClient installation and rebooting, I can connect again.

 

HTH,

McKoene

Has there been any other progress on this?

I have seen some resolutions here and we have been able to perform some of the WAN Miniport fixes, but when it happened to us it was a combination of that and then memory usage.

 

Holy have you managed any progress on this? We saw very similar debug results with ours.
