Working with the ActiveX/Java Platform plug-in 

The ActiveX/Java Platform plug-ins provide the software that your client computer 
needs to establish an SSL VPN tunnel with the FortiGate unit. You have to 
download the ActiveX/Java Platform plugin from the FortiGate unit and install the 
plugin on your client computer before your computer can establish a VPN tunnel 
with the FortiGate unit. Controls for downloading and installing the ActiveX/Java 
Platform plug-ins are displayed in the Fortinet SSL VPN Client area of the web 
portal.

You only have to install the ActiveX/Java Platform plug-ins once. Afterward, you 
can use the SSL VPN client software to initiate a VPN tunnel with the FortiGate 
unit whenever you access the web portal.

Link Status 

The state of the SSL VPN tunnel:

Up is displayed when an SSL VPN tunnel with the FortiGate 
unit has been established. 

Down is displayed when a tunnel connection has not been 
initiated.

Bytes Sent

The number of bytes of data transmitted from the client to the 
FortiGate unit since the tunnel was established.

Bytes Received

The number of bytes of data received by the client from the 
FortiGate unit since the tunnel was established.

Install

Download the SSL VPN client software from the FortiGate unit 
and add the ActiveX/Java Platform plugin to the local web 
browser.

Uninstall

Uninstall the ActiveX/Java Platform plugin.

Connect

Initiate a session and establish an SSL VPN tunnel with the 
FortiGate unit.

Disconnect

End the session and close the tunnel to the FortiGate unit.

Refresh Now

Refresh the Fortinet SSL VPN Client page.

Note: 

On your web browser, ensure that the security settings associated with the Internet 

zone permit you to download and run ActiveX/Java Platform controls. You must also have 
administrator rights on your computer to install the ActiveX/Java Platform controls.
