Client

Provide malware protection and application firewall service. Enable the device to connect securely to the Security Fabric over either VPN (SSL or IPsec) or ZTNA tunnels, both encrypted. The connection to the Security Fabric can either be a. A virtual private network (VPN) is a service that allows a user to establish a secure, encrypted connection between the public internet and a corporate or institutional network. A secure sockets layer VPN (SSL VPN) enables individual users to access an organization's network, client-server applications, and internal network utilities. When the SSL VPN receives data from a client application, the data is encrypted and sent to the FortiGate unit, which then forwards the traffic to the application server. L RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), similar to VNC, enables you to remotely control a computer running Microsoft Terminal Services.

Creating SSL VPNs

  1. Use the credentials you've set up to connect to the SSL VPN tunnel. After connection, all traffic except the local subnet will go through the tunnel FGT. Go to VPN Monitor SSL-VPN Monitor to verify the list of SSL users. On the FortiGate, go to Log & Report Traffic Log Forward Traffic and view the details for the SSL entry.
  2. This is a detailed guide on how to configure a SSL VPN with certificate authentication on a Fortigate. We will be using OPENSSL to generate the CA and certificates. Generate the CA or root certificate (Certificate Authority) You will need to generate a root certificate to sign the Server and Client certificate.

To create SSL VPNs, you must be logged in as an administrator with sufficient privileges. Multiple VPNs can be created.

    Device

    Select a FortiGate device or VDOM.

    Connection Settings

    Specify the connection settings.

    Listen on Interface(s)

    Define the interface the FortiGate will use to listen for SSL VPN tunnel requests. This is generally your external interface.

    Listen on Port

    Enter the port number for HTTPS access.

    Restrict Access

    Allow access from any hosts, or limit access to specific hosts. If limiting access, select the hosts that have access in the Hosts field.

    Idle Logout

    Select to enable idle timeout. When enabled, enter the amount of time that the connection can remain inactive before timing out, from 10 to 28800 seconds (default: 300) in theInactive For field.

    This setting applies to the SSL VPN session. The interface does not time out when web application sessions or tunnels are up.

    Server Certificate

    Select the signed server certificate to use for authentication. Alternately, select a certificate template that is configured to use the FortiManager CA. See Certificate templates.

    Require Client Certificate

    Select to use group certificates for authenticating remote clients. When the remote client initiates a connection, the FortiGate unit prompts the client for its client-side certificate as part of the authentication process. For information on using PKI to provide client certificate authentication, see the Authentication Guide.

    Tunnel Mode Client Settings

    Specify tunnel mode client settings. These settings determine how tunnel mode clients are assigned IP addresses.

    Address Range

    Either automatically assign address, or specify custom IP ranges.

    DNS Server

    Select to use the same DNS as the client system, or to specify DNS servers. Enter up to two DNS servers to be provided for the use of clients.

    Specify WINS Servers

    Select to specify WINS servers. Enter up to two WINS servers to be provided for the use of clients.

    Allow Endpoint Registration

    Select to allow endpoint registration.

    Authentication/Portal Mapping

    Select the users and groups that can access the tunnel.

    Create New

    Create a new authentication/portal mapping entry. Select the Users/Groups, Realm, and Portal, then click OK.
