Hi,
When connecting VPN from FortiClient getting the error message “The security certificate for this site has been revoked. This site should not be trusted”.
I have verified the server certificate used under SSL-VPN settings and found that certificate is valid.
FortiOS version - 7.0.15
Hello @priyarf5 ,
The certificate may be valid but may have been revoked by a trusted authority.
Can you try to test with this tool your certificate?

If you are using public certificates, another reason can be because the certificate is revoked at the CA level when the certificate uses ocsp.
You may check with the following tool: https://www.certificatetools.com/ocsp-checker
