Try the brand-new open-source OpenFortiGUI as replacement for the Forticlient.
Forticlient – SSLVPN is a VPN Client to connect to Fortigate Devices with minimal effort, packaged here for Ubuntu and Debian.
Officially there is only a generic tar.gz package available. As I use Ubuntu most the time, I decided to build .deb packages for 32/64bit Ubuntu with a nice desktop icon to start : )
This packages should also work on debian, but i did not test this on myself now (will follow).
For upgrades just download the new package and install it, the package manager will do the upgrade for you.
I will share my packages here for you to download:

Forticlient SSLVPN 4.4.2327 64bit has stopped working for me on Ubuntu 14.04 (can’t connect to VPN anymore).
Is this a known issue?
Is there a fix planned?
Thanks!
Have you tried the newest version? Worked fine for me, even on 14.04.
Awesome, thanks a lot.
Thank you very much!!
Works like a charm! Good job, many thanks!

I had to come here to Thank You! 😀
Thanks, man!
Your software saved my skin! Thanks a bundle!! Misplaced my windows laptop on a day I needed to vpn into work because of snow. I used to be an IT person… in the 90s… on windows… Obsolete and out of my element, I got a serious crash course in ubuntu, emphasis on crash. I was able to get the vpn up and running in no time flat. I had other issues with dns being blocked by the firewall for only my machine. If you’ve ever heard of a fortinet firewall doing that to only ubuntu boxes, let me know! Either way this vpn client rocks!
Hello,
is there any way to pass authentication group from command line when using forticlientsslvpn_cli?
The problem is that connection info given for us is https://vpn.serveraddress.com/group.
So how do I pass that group from the address in command line?
sudo dpkg -i package.deb
