After that i checked in the "/var/log/forticlient/sslvpn.log" file and found below "certificate failed" error

 

root@ubuntu-client:/var/log/forticlient# tail -f sslvpn.log

Hostname: 114.143.xxx.xxx

Reason: X509 verify certificate failed

Certificate:

Just for testing i also installed forticlient vpn 7.4 on windows 11 system and it is working fine ( i am using both machine from my same network).

 

Please help me to resolve this issue.
