   Hi, it seems version 4.4.2335 is available which fixes a security issue (https://fortiguard.com/psirt/FG-IR-17-214). Could you provide an update for the Ubuntu packages please? thanks 🙂

      Is this project been abandoned because of openfortigui project? I think both projects can coexist.

         Hello,

         since some time the linux forticlient binaries are not available anymore for “normal” fortinet members. You need an FTDN(Fortinet Developer Network) Account which i dont have yet.

         This means i cannot access new versions of Forticlient VPN for Linux.

         I will look forward to “upgrade” our account to such one and update you.

         Cheers
         Rene

   Does anyone experiencing loss of a stored connection? I’ve set up a connection under a name of my choosing, and the person who used it could only use it once. The second time, it had vanished from the connection list.
   I’m sure I’m not alone in this case, but I can’t find an answer to this issue, whether in this comment thread or elsewhere on the net.
   Any hint anyone ?

    Hello,
    I have a problem here while installing the latest package, I did not have that problem before (and I am missing OTP on your brand new OpenFortiGui which seems great !) :

    Just to keep it registered here what Capita said at 22/03/2017 at 01:15, if after an update you receive a “Setup Failed” message just run the setup again directly from its folder on the console with “sudo /opt/forticlient-sslvpn/64bit/helper/setup”, read and agree with the license and you’re ready.

    Look forward to trying your: OpenFortiGUI.

    However for the current tool, FortiClient SSL; where would I find the config files for this once installed? I love this tool and use it daily in my Mint system, however there is occasion if my system crashes while the program is loaded / active, where I lose the profile that was active / live during that crash. That, and/or if I want to switch to another install / machine.

    Where would be a good place to ‘backup’ the config / data for this app.

    Thanks in advance. ~TucxMind

    Current OS: Mint 17.x

       Ended up noticing this was ans a month later in another reply (above); in case missed by others… ‘config location’ is (in your home directory): /home/.fctsslvpnhistory

       File name:
       .fctsslvpnhistory

       Not sure if this is the same for the new OpenFortiGUI.
       _______________________

       To restore / reimport. Just re- / install the .deb package, and then place your backed up .fctsslvpnhistory file in the home directory.

    Thanks for complete package. You deserve a beer!

    Tried on Lubuntu 14.04 LTS. Does NOT work at first.
    It looks for libpango-1.0-0, but there is only libpango1.0-0 in the system.

    I needed to rebuild the package using the procedure from:
