I was having the same problem as @guilherme44 was having and figured it out by using:

strace /opt/forticlient/forticlient-cli epctrl detail

It turns out the installation processes never creates the /etc/forticlient directory which causes forticlient to be unable to fail to access the file(s) it needs. In this case it's specifically: /etc/forticlient/custom_machine_id.conf.

I solved the problem by:

  1. Uninstalling forticlient
  2. sudo rm -rf /opt/forticlient
  3. rm -rf ~/.config/FortiClient
  4. sudo rm -rf /etc/forticlient
  5. Reinstall forticlient
  6. BEFORE starting forticlient service sudo mkdir /etc/forticlient
  7. systemctl start forticlient

I'm not sure about every one else but I have to manually start /opt/forticlient/fortitray and then use the FortiClient gui to start the VPN and then get to the EMS.

Somewhat related, I'm using Sway right now and the fortitray icon appears as a red frowny face and cannot activate its menu.

@rhysperry111 and @pellle87 I had the same issue. I think that is a some permission.

sudo /opt/forticlient/forticlient-cli epctrl detail
fopen() failed to open UID file [2]
Failed to set machine ID file permissions [2]
fopen() failed while setting custom UID [2]

@rhysperry111 I had the same problem but did install the forticlient-vpn package, then replaced it with this package and after that it works and stays connected.

However i dont seem to get any config from the EMS server but cant find any errors in logs. the whole "remote connection" tab is gone from the gui for me.

Has anybody been able to get this working for the purpose of remote connect? I'm able to connect using an invite and I show up in the EMS, however it says "Not reachable" after the first 60 seconds and never shows button for remote connect.

@Medowser, thanks for owning this package and keeping it up to date! I noticed line 15 of the PKGBUILD produces a warning because the indicated file doesn't exist in the package. I not only verified that's correct, but the file doesn't exist in my filesystem at all. So, I think it would be nice to drop it: - https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=forticlient#n15

Thanks!

Right now the latest release is: 7.2.4.0809 with sha512sum: 417ab5bf8623f81f2894aef9e8e1415d48ca13be098de989036a99d2289953398614b9af8594608b037b9fe6e676f079ba9f6d357d96b36eea92c319fa44cd89

Update the PKGBUILD with these and i will install. For the mantainer; please update the package and maybe the description with: "Zero Trust Fabric Agent"

I gave up making it work for ipsec, I made a tutorial on how to setup ipsec using strongswan https://rz1027.github.io/blog/ipsec-fortigate-linux-7-2023
