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

pkgname=forticlient_vpn
pkgver=7.2.2.0753

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 ?

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

Rekcah commented on 2023-05-26 10:55 (UTC)

I'm using openrc as my init system and am having trouble starting fortclient-vpn from cli. In particular, I manually start the confighandler, start-fortitray-launcher.sh and fctsched, but when I start the Forticlient from the GUI and try to connect, the "connecting" status remains frozen with the "Disconnect" button, without me being able to then interact with it in any way.

Am I forgetting to start some other process for forticlient-vpn to work properly?
