OpenFortiGUI and Ubuntu 20.04 Status

Hi,

i know a lot of you are waiting for Ubuntu 20.04 builds of OpenFortiGUI. I have now setup the new buildserver so far and a first build of OpenFortigui available. Please keep in mind these are developement builds directly from git master branch and not really tested.

I still made a quicktest of this build and it is working so far on my test VM. You can find the dev builds here: https://apt.iteas.at/iteas-dev/pool/main/o/openfortigui/
My tested build: https://apt.iteas.at/iteas-dev/pool/main/o/openfortigui/openfortigui_99.9.1057-1_amd64_focal.deb

Important: You must enable the checkbox “SUDO -E Option – SUDO Preserve Env.” in your OpenFortiGUI main preferences or your VPNs will not work.

I will work on a solution to autodetect the running OS and switch on this flag automatically, help is welcome. Otherwise just enjoy this new build. A new “stable” release will coming soon.

Running this on Pop!OS 20.04 (built on Ubuntu 20.04) and updating the settings as mentioned works great for me! (still on last stable version)

For me using Ubuntu 20.04 and VPN with certificates required for authentication doesn’t work. It replies me, on error logs, despite the fact that i have provide all the necessary inputs: user certificate, user key, CA certificate:

INFO: Start tunnel.
INFO: Closed connection to gateway.
ERROR: SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations: error:0B084002:x509 certificate routines:X509_load_cert_crl_file:system lib
INFO: Could not log out.

Any ideas?

Because of COVID19 we all were forced to work from home. My company uses forticlient for VPN. For windows users it works very well but to my surprise forticlient does not have Linux Client.

I would like to extend my thanks to the developer… because of you I can work from home and able to provide for my family.

You can not imagine what profound impact you have on the lives of others. Thank you very much.

I have one query though… How do I keep alive the connection on Ubuntu 20.04 ?
