Hi,

Anyone an idea what to do?

After the failed upgrade we reversed back to Original state (VMWare Snapshot).

 

We already had the chance to test the Beta of 1.2 and i can say there are a lot of nice changes/new features :)

Hi Steve,

 

I have received some additional information.

 

The problem only occures when you are using advanced XML profiles (we are using those) so if you are using basic profiles you can try the upgrade (Make snapshot first )

 

Keep you updated

Dear Customer ,  Good news! . The fix for this ready and should be rolled in the next patch release by end of Next week . If not I will confirm from our QA/Development team and provide an interim build ,as these builds are not usually good for production enviroments. For now the ticket will be moved to WaitGArelease.

Heads up!

 

I upgraded EMS from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1 and it removed the keyword "prompt_username" from every SSLVPN tunnel.

And when it was gone, you could not right click on the tunnel in the lower right corner anymore, (fast way to open tunnel), you received an error saying "username cannot be blank".

 

Workaround is to manually add the keyword to the XML:

<prompt_username>1</prompt_username>

They are suppose to be coming out with a fix very soon.  Probably version 1.2.1

SteveG

Many thanks for coming back, we don't use advanced profiles so that's good news.

@IUseFGT

 

The procedure as described will held all the data (Clients,Policy's,  settings et"c) intact?

Well I upgraded from 1.0.5 to 1.2 last night, the upgrade went well. Server came up ok and the EMS web interface was operational. However after 4 hours of waiting, poking and prodding not a single FortiClient had successfully sync'd (we have around 1,200). So had to revert to the 1.0.5 snapshot. Ticket now with Fortinet :o

Just in case anyone has the same issue here's what TAC told me. When upgrading from EMS 1.0.5 to 1.2 all FortiClients must be uninstalled and re-installed. I've pushed back on this as this isn't very practical! 

 

Having said that post upgrade I did uninstall then re-install FC using a 1.2 build and it still wouldn't sync so I'm not convinced by this response.

Hi Guys,

 

We did some investigation on our profile upgrade issue when we upgrade from 1.05 to 1.2.1

 

We had added in our advanced XML an vpn option on_connect and on_disconnect , we have removed that before upgrade and then upgraded ems.

Profiles are now upgraded and then we added it again and works like charm again. (option is now in gui also possible instead of only throught advanced XML)
