The Fortinet linux SSL VPN client install is really simple. The only issue I had after installing the client on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit was that my VPN profiles were not saving, so every time I relaunched the VPN client I would have to manually enter/re-create my VPN profile. For some reason the .fctsslvpnhistory file that contains the profile settings was not being saved to my home folder. In case this happens to you you can manually create the file in your home folder with the following settings:

version=2
proxyserver=
proxyport=
proxyuser=
proxypasswd=
current=DEFAULT_PROFILE_NAME
keepalive=0
autostart=0
profile=PROFILE_NAME
server=IP_ADDRESS
port=10443
user=USERNAME
password=HASHED_PASSWORD
path=
p12passwd=

  1. Thank you, I have the same problem.
    This workaround is very useful!
    Still, FortiNet owes us a real solution (not to mention a real SSLVPN client for Linux)…
