Endpoint vpn

Autoconnect on logging in as an Entra ID user You can configure FortiClient to automatically connect to a specified VPN tunnel using Microsoft Entra ID credentials. FortiClient supports two autoconnect methods with Entra ID SAML VPN: FortiClient can establish the VPN tunnel seamlessly without manual authentication if the user is already logged in to an Entra ID domain-joined endpoint. See Method 1: Autoconnect with Entra ID domain-joined FortiClient endpoint. The user establishes the VPN tunnel using manual authentication for the first time that they establish that VPN tunnel. Afterward, FortiClient can seamlessly establish the VPN tunnel without manual authentication. See Method 2: Autoconnect with non Entra ID-joined FortiClient endpoint. The following describes configuration for both methods. The following instructions assume that you have already configured your Entra ID environment, that your FortiClient EMS and FortiGate are part of a Fortinet Security Fabric, and that the FortiGate has been configured in Azure as an enterprise application for SAML single sign on. See Tutorial: Azure AD SSO integration with FortiGate SSL VPN. The following configuration requires FortiOS 7.2.1 or a later version. The XML option affects how FortiClient presents SAML authentication in the GUI. See SSL VPN. Method 1: Autoconnect with Entra ID domain-joined FortiClient endpoint To join the endpoint to an Entra ID domain: On the Windows machine, go to Settings > Accounts > Access work or school > Join this device to Microsoft ID. Enter the Entra ID domain account credentials. Reboot the endpoint. Log in with the configured Entra ID credentials. To configure EMS: Go to Endpoint Profiles > Remote Access. Select the desired profile. Specify the desired tunnel as the autoconnect tunnel: SSL VPN HQ1 After the endpoint receives the updated configuration, when the user is logged in as the Entra ID domain user on the endpoint, FortiClient seamlessly connects to the VPN tunnel without displaying a prompt for credentials. The user does not need to manually authenticate the VPN tunnel connection. To configure FortiOS: conf user saml edit "azure_saml" set auth-url " next end Method 2: Autoconnect with non Entra ID-joined FortiClient endpoint To create and configure app registration in Azure: In the Azure portal, go to Microsoft Entra ID > Enterprise applications. Select the FortiGate SSL VPN enterprise application. Note down the application ID and Azure domain. Go to Microsoft Entra ID > App registrations > All applications. Click the application that you selected in step 2. Go to Manage > Authentication > Add a platform > Mobile and desktop applications. In the Custom redirect URIs field, enter ms-appx-web://microsoft.aad.brokerplugin/, followed by the application ID that you noted. For example, if your application ID is 123456, enter ms-appx-web://microsoft.aad.brokerplugin/123456. Save the configuration. To configure EMS: Go to Endpoint

The only problem with this approach (and of course it is the prescribed approach) is the unfriendly nature of it. I have often wondered why, when using the full endpoint management server, that there isn't a better way.In an enterprise estate, there are several user classes (sales, technical, accounts, executives), and these may require different VPN configurations. There is not a simple way to create a VPN policy for these user communities from the central management point, and that seems very strange. One size fits all does not work in large estates.For example, in our own business - I want my sales team to have an always-on configuration. They need to connect if they are out of the office, so I want to give them a sales VPN profile (ideally with transparent machine authentication because they are sales people). But our technical teams need to log on to a completely different VPN gateway, but they are technical and they know when they need a VPN and when they don't. They have access to customer systems from the VPN, so 2-factor authentication is preferable. These user groups have config needs that are completely different and whilst I can manage a user base with 2 or 3 different trac.defaults configurations across around 40 machines, it's clunky and for no good reason. @PhoneBoy it's time for EndPoint to grow up a little more and remember that unlike gateways, endpoints are managed by the desktop team where clunky fixes to text files that are not accessible via the management interface are a blocker to acceptability and ultimately to sales success. Engineers may love to hate the "just edit this file in vi" type of SK, but frankly it's a killer for most endpoint administrators and needs to evolve. Can it be in R81 endpoint management please ? 😄 Long term technology addict and occasional Check Point consultant.
