Added options to allow firewall addresses to be used in routing table for SSL VPN (265430)
If destination Named Address is set in Network > Static Routes and Address Range is set to Automatically assign addresses in VPN > SSL-VPN Settings, SSL VPN should refresh the routing table automatically.
HTTP to HTTPS redirect support (278728)
The admin HTTP port can now be redirected to the admin HTTPS port. This is enabled in VPN > SSL- VPN Settings using the option Redirect port 80 to this login port.
There are two likely scenarios for this:
- SSL VPN is not in use, in which case the admin GUI runs on port 443 or 10443, and port 80 is redirected.
- SSL VPN runs on port 443, in which case port 80 is redirected to 443 and the admin port runs on 10443. If the administrator chooses to run SSL VPN on port 80, the redirect option is invalid.
This can also be configured in the CLI as described below.
Syntax:
config vpn ssl settings
set https-redirect [enable | disable] (default: disabled)
end

In 5.4.1 is there any way to disable display of the “download forticlient” button? as there was in 5.2… They’ve removed the CLI option and there appears to be no GUI option either. As this is an end user interface, and users will be users, they get confused about the purpose of the button. Thanks!
The documentation definitely states that they removed it. I have not been able to tie down a way to remove it in 5.4.1 unfortunately. Fortinet hasn’t had an answer for me either.
What version of the FortiOS did they drop the client cache cleaner?
