I've never seen this set up before, so let me ask you this:

 

How are the devices presenting the certificate to the forticlient, to connect to the vpn?

 

Because the pki user, needs to be an actual user who is going to select the certificate on the client to present it to the firewall, as a mean of authentication.

I don't believe fortigate supports this kind of set up.

The sslvpn is for remote users, not devices. You have some ways to whitelist devices that can connect to the vpn, but you'll always need a user.

Hey Noureddine,

- machine certificate authentication is principally possible

- FortiGate needs to be set up for authentication, and you should make sure that ALL machine certificates match the 'user peer' you have defined

-> as your 'user peer' set-up is right now, any certificate issued by the 'dom-SRVAD-CA' certificate would be accepted

 

Please note that users, when establishing the VPN, will need to manually select the machine certificate in the drop-down menu FortiClient offers.
