Configuring certificates for FortiClient VPN
Configuring certificates is optional. Many VPN configurations do not use certificates.
If the computer you use to run the FortiClient VPN editor also has the FortiClient
application installed on it, FortiClient certificates are available in the FortiClient VPN editor.
You can also import certificates.
The FortiClient VPN Editor configures certificates in exactly the same way as the
FortiClient application. Only the page names differ.
Refer to the “Managing digital certificates” section in the VPN chapter of the
FortiClient
Endpoint Security User Guide
for detailed information about working with certificates.
Exporting configurations to the FortiClient VPN installer
When you have finished creating configurations in the FortiClient VPN Editor, you can
easily export them to a FortiClient VPN installer. If you configured any certificates, these
are also exported.
To export the tunnel configurations
1
On the
Tunnels
page, select the
Export
check box for each tunnel configuration that
you want to export.
2
Select the
Export
button.
The
Save As
window opens.
3
In the
Save as type
list, select
Installer Package File (*.msi)
.
4
Locate the FortiClient VPN installer file to update with VPN tunnel configurations.
5
Select
Save
.
You can also save configurations to a VPN policy file (.vpl) or policy package (.vpz) for
distribution to FortiClient Endpoint Security users. The policy package is the preferred
format because the file is password protected and it includes any certificates that the
tunnel requires.
