Community,

The Fortinet provides two products, "FortiClient EMS" and "FortiClient VPN only". This package only correspond to "FortiClient VPN only" and your lastest version is 7.0.7.0246 at 03-09-2023.

If you are interested in "FortiClient EMS", I suggest following the AUR package 'forticlient' [https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/forticlient]

I'm also experiencing the issue about the missing libcertd.so. I have examined the downloaded .deb file, and in fact, libcertd.so is not in it. Has anyone tried to contact Fortinet about this? Eventually, they're the only ones who can provide a fixed current package. Or is there another trustworthy source where I can get the .so from?

Edit: After a bit of research, I found out that Ubuntu users (who the .deb seems to be made for) are also facing this issue. So to me it looks like it's really caused by an incomplete .deb, and not by this AUR package.

enable IPSec, as per numerous comment i suspect there is a package missing

Hi,

Does this not support ipsec? It's weird because when I click new connectionf or the first time I see ipsec as an option for a fraction of a secodn before it consolidates to ssl-vpn and xml only.

Thanks for updating the package, I noticed strange ( perhaps ) new behaviour. After connecting to vpn the window closes ( it didnt in previous version ) , still works, but sometimes I forget im connected to vpn ( as the tray is not working in gnome ). DO you have the same behaviour - can it be configured ?

I found a way to configure this. The config file /var/lib/forticlient/config.db is an SQLite database and can be opened with:

sudo sqlite3 /var/lib/forticlient/config.db

To prevent the window from closing after connection, you can execute this query:

update vpn set value = false where config = 'options.minimize_window_on_connect';

libappindicator-gtk3 should be added as a dependency.

Why there's a gigantic .install file? Is this actually required?

I'm reluctant to install a package that requires such a huge script.

This package is currently not working as described by other users. As a temporary fix you can use the same PKGBUILD with an older version of forticlient-vpn. I used this: https://github.com/purfectliterature/forticlient_vpn/releases/tag/7.2.1.0700 Remember to change the sha256sum accordingly.

I'm facing the same issue as idrisakintobi in the comments below, where popups are not showing up. HOWEVER... it WAS working on my machine before. I reinstalled my arch though and ever since, the dialogs are not showing up anymore. Before, they'd also show up when connecting via cli.

I suppose there is some GUI dependency missing... may that be?

Using the GUI is impossible without the dialogs being shown.

Same experience here.

I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the maintainers for this package.

After update to 7.4.3.1736-1, it failed at startup:
