Description
This article explains how to activate the 'Save Password', 'Auto Connect' and 'Always Up' options in FortiClient.
Solution
The 'Save Password', 'Auto Connect' and 'Always Up' options in FortiClinet depend upon the VPN (IPsec) or SSL VPN configuration of the FortiGate device. These can be enable from the CLI as shown below. For SSL VPN.
# config vpn ssl web portal edit [portal_name_str] set auto-connect enable set save-password enable set keep-alive enable end
For IPsec.
# config vpn ipsec phase1-interface edit [vpn name] set save-password enable set client-auto-negotiate enable set client-keep-alive enable end end
Note : *. vpn auto-connect/always-up features are not supported in the FortiClient 6.2.X onwards for free version.
