Hello,
I am trying to connect my Fedora 24 laptop to a Fortinet SSL VPN service using NetworkManager. I have installed openfortivpn, NetworkManager-fortisslvpn and NetworkManager- fortisslvpn-gnome. However, using KDE, clicking on the networks icon on the toolbar, and then the 'Configure network connections...' icon shows my devices and connections. If I click on 'Add', under 'VPN' it shows VPN types openconnect, vpnc and openswan, but nothing about Fortinet.
As anyone got this working and created a connection to a Fortinet device using NetworkManager?
Thanks,
John.

I don't use that VPN type.
But I installed those packages and noted
1. The VPN type does not appear in KDE as you've said. 2. The VPN type does appear in GNOME.
So, I guess you should file a bugzilla.

I think I may see the "issue".
For all the other VPNs there are packages such as...
plasma-nm-openconnect-5.8.1-0.1.fc24.x86_64 plasma-nm-openvpn-5.8.1-0.1.fc24.x86_64 plasma-nm-mobile-5.8.1-0.1.fc24.x86_64 plasma-nm-vpnc-5.8.1-0.1.fc24.x86_64 plasma-nm-pptp-5.8.1-0.1.fc24.x86_64 plasma-nm-strongswan-5.8.1-0.1.fc24.x86_64
There isn't a
plasma-nm-fortisslvpn
package.

Hello,
Thanks for the reply, and for investigating this. As far as I can tell this has already been reported to KDE: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355079
Unfortunately using openfortivpn from the command line failed (it seems the routing was messed up a bit). Using the Fortinet vendor Linux client worked. If I get time I'll look into this later on.
Thanks,
John.
