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]

In addition to @cbueche's suggested PKGBUILD, if you want to retrieve the VPN agent from Fortinet's servers, you can keep the same PKGBUILD and replace the version with 7.2.2.0753 and the SHA256SUM by 9ec6f07da10142417f154bbe83a247b8422e05dfd505766527b039a1089858bf.

If you want to valide the hash yourself/be able to update the PKGBUILD in the future:

The latest agent can be downloaded using https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/deb/vpnagent which will redirect to the .deb file on Fortinet's filestore (which then gives the file name containing the package version)

I attempted to build an updated package, here is my PKGBUILD. It seems to work well.

package(){

    # Extract package data
    tar xf data.tar.xz -C "${pkgdir}"

    # Fix directory structure differences
    cd "${pkgdir}"

    mkdir -p usr/lib 2> /dev/null; mv lib/* usr/lib; rm -rf lib
    mkdir -p var/lib/forticlient

    cd ..

}

Hi, there is an advisory (https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/alerts/2024/04/09/fortinet-releases-security-updates-multiple-products) and a new version available to fix it. Would you please consider an update ?

Jarhmander commented on 2023-11-24 06:36 (UTC)

This patch should be sufficient to update to the latest version.

Had the same infinite "Connecting..." issue than @Migho, and solved it installing gnome-keyring. Probably it needs to be a required dependency (I was on kde).

keerthi commented on 2023-09-29 06:00 (UTC)

Broken & stopped working after the recent updates (2023-09-18). The folks maintaining https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/networkmanager-fortisslvpn have applied some patches which works exceptionally well. Not sure if it can be ported. Just sharing the info for the benefit of others.

fairlyn commented on 2023-09-25 14:44 (UTC)

Oddly enough, running /opt/forticlient/vpn at least once (as root) removes the error FortiClient SSLVPN is unavailable: FortiClient VPN trial has expired.

JamesArchibald commented on 2023-09-05 08:44 (UTC)

@HenrIqu3, I'm also running into this issue.

To reproduce:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/forticlient-vpn
makepkg -is
fortivpn --help

Results:

FortiClient SSLVPN is unavailable: FortiClient VPN trial has expired.
Please contact your administrator or connect to EMS for license activation.

HenrIqu3 commented on 2023-08-31 19:33 (UTC)

After making the package and installing it i ran into this message. Somebody already raninto same trouble?

./usr/bin/fortivpn  ✔ FortiClient SSLVPN is unavailable: FortiClient VPN trial has expired. Please contact your administrator or connect to EMS for license activation.

I fixed doing this (I tried in separated terminals, but I think it works):

sudo /opt/forticlient/fctsched &

sudo /opt/forticlient/fortitraylauncher &

/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --foreground --components=pkcs11,secrets --control-directory=/run/user/1000/keyring

And then:

/opt/forticlient/gui/FortiClient-linux-x64/FortiClient
