Advanced FortiClient profiles

When creating custom FortiClient MSI files for deployment, you will need to configure advanced FortiClient profiles on FortiClient EMS to ensure that settings in the FortiClient profile do not overwrite your custom XML settings. You can configure the FortiClient profile to deliver the full XML configuration, VPN only, or specific FortiClient XML configurations. For information on provisioning a full XML configuration file, see Advanced FortiClient profiles on page 1.

For more information on customizing the FortiClient XML configuration file, see the Appendix C – Rebrand FortiClient on page 128.

Fortinet recommends creating OS specific endpoint profiles when provisioning XML settings. When creating a new FortiClient profile, select the device group as either Windows PC or Mac. If a FortiClient (Windows) XML configuration is pushed to a FortiClient (Mac OS X) system, FortiClient (Mac OS X) will ignore settings which are not supported.
