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]

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:

Hello, after creating the package it asks for a PGP key. How can I solve this problem?

[cfd@alien forticlient-vpn]$ sudo pacman -U forticlient-vpn-7.4.3.1736-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

loading packages...

:: Import PGP key XXXXX...XXX? [Y/n] Y

error: key "XXXXX...XXX" could not be retrieved remotely

error: missing required key in keyring

error: 'forticlient-vpn-7.4.3.1736-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst': unexpected error

I ended up solving my own problem. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the maintainers for this package!!

SOLUTION:

1. Export the local PGP public key to a .asc file

gpg --export -a <KEY_ID> > mykey.asc

2. Add the exported key to pacman’s keyring

sudo pacman-key --add mykey.asc

3. Locally sign (trust) the key

sudo pacman-key --lsign-key <KEY_ID>

4. Install the package

sudo pacman -U <package-name>.pkg.tar.zst

Token input modal does not show up. I installed the package afresh, and I am stuck on the connecting screen. After entering my password, an “OK” and “Cancel” button appear, which I believe are meant to confirm the token input. However, there was no field to input the token. After clicking “OK,” I remained stuck on the connecting screen. Please help.

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 stumbled on the vpnagent fix also, but because it's not linked to a version I'm reluctant on implementing the change. I've had no luck trying to find an alternative to the intial filestore setup, but I will look into pulling from the debian repo this weekend.

  • Update - figured out the new filestore url just followed the redirect

For anyone having trouble with the .deb file not being downloaded, replacing the following values in the PKGBUILD file solved the problem for me:

source=("https://links.fortinet.com/forticlient/deb/vpnagent")
sha256sums=('45c465ca669d4bc6d0f1d3a93f4eb765b996e05c10f6e8e9e2db2fa6728a541c')

NOTE: Keep in mind this will download the latest version available, and the package listed here may be out of date, as it is at the moment of this writing. The sha256sums above corresponds to version 7.4.3.1736
