Installation Overview

Installation

This chapter describes how to install FortiClient.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Overview

• FortiClient software packages

• Standard FortiClient Installation

Overview

You can install FortiClient directly from the Fortinet Web site or from a custom location, such as your network.

FortiClient software packages

Fortinet provides different installation packages for FortiClient software. The two main types of default installation packages for FortiClient software are:

• a Windows executable (.exe) file

• a .zip file (compressed archive) containing a Microsoft Installer (MSI) package, language transform files and the FCRepackager tool

The 64-bit versions of these files have “_x64” in the name. If you are running 64-bit Windows, you must use a 64-bit installation package.

Windows executable (.exe) installer

The Windows executable (.exe) installer provides easy installation on a single computer by the end user. Any existing FortiClient installation on the computer is upgraded. The

FortiClient Endpoint Security User Guide provides information about using these

installers.

To install the FortiClient software - Windows executable installer

1 Double-click the FortiClient installer program file.

2 Follow the instructions on the screen, selecting Next to proceed through the installation

options.

When the installation has completed, the FortiClient Configuration Wizard begins, unless you are upgrading an existing installation.

MSI installer

The MSI installer in the .zip file package is customizable for a larger roll-out to many computers in an organization. This customization procedures in this chapter use the .zip file package exclusively. You can deploy the customized MSI installer to your users and they can install it following the simple instructions in the FortiClient Endpoint Security User

Guide. You can preconfigure all application settings, including the configuration for

centralized management by a FortiManager system. For more information, see “Custom

Installer Packages” on page 9.

Page 12

Standard FortiClient Installation Installation

You can upgrade an existing FortiClient installation by installing a newer version of the software. To upgrade using an MSI installer, you can double-click the MSI file or use the following commend line:

msiexec /i FortiClient.msi

To install the FortiClient software - MSI installer

1 Extract the files from the FortiClient Setup .zip archive into a folder.

2 To perform a new installation or upgrade an existing installation, double-click the

FortiClient.msi file.

3 Follow the instructions on the screen, selecting Next to proceed through the installation

options.

When the installation has completed, the FortiClient Configuration Wizard begins, unless you are upgrading an existing installation.

Installation notes

These notes describe special conditions that apply to specific types of installations.

• Installing on Windows Vista SP1 — Make sure that Windows is not installing updates while you install the FortiClient application. If Windows Update has run and it requested a reboot, be sure to reboot your computer before installing the FortiClient application.

• Installing on servers — When installing FortiClient Endpoint Security on a server, follow the antivirus guidelines for other products installed on the server. You might need to exclude from antivirus scanning certain files and directories such as Exchange Server, SQL Server and other software with database back-ends.

Note: If FortiClient is directly installed on SQL or Exchange server, the AntiVirus > Server Protection window is disabled. To enable antivirus server protection, use the msi package with the public property WITHEXCHANGE=1. For example: msiexec /i

forticlient.msi WITHEXCHANGE=1

Note: While Windows Server is supported, Fortinet does not recommend installing FortiClient onto Domain Controllers.

• Installing from a drive created with subst — Installing from an MSI package does not work if the MSI file is located on a drive created with the subst command. You can do any of the following:

• specify the real path to the file

• move the MSI file to a location where this is not an issue

• use the .exe installer instead, if possible

Standard FortiClient Installation

Single-user installation

User can install the standard FortiClient application through such methods such as downloading it from the FortiClient Web site or using a CD. For more information on installing FortiClient, see the FortiClient User Guide or QuickStart Guide.

Custom Installer Packages Overview

Custom Installer Packages

This chapter describes how to create a custom MSI package for FortiClient Endpoint Security that you can deploy to your users. The customized installation can include the necessary configuration for central management by a FortiManager system.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Overview

• Creating a customized installer using FCRepackager

• Customizing the installer using an MSI editor

• Deploying the Customized Installation

• Managing FortiClient with FortiManager

• Advanced Scenarios

Overview

This chapter describes two methods of producing a custom MSI installer: using FCRepackager and using the MSI editor. The FCRepackager tool is included in the FortiClientTools.zip file and is the recommended method to use.

With both types of customized installation, you can:

• set which features are installed

• include the FortiClient license key

• enable or disable the installation wizard

• enable or disable update scheduling

• set update schedule randomly on install

• enable or disable upgrade of existing installation

• enable management by a FortiManager system and set the FortiClient Manager lockdown password

You can simply give your users the customized package to install. It works the same way as the standard installer provided by Fortinet. There are several other ways to distribute the customized installer, including a network installer image, Windows Active Directory server or the FortiClient host check feature on some FortiGate units. These are described in the “Installation” chapter.

Creating a customized installer using FCRepackager

FCRepackager is designed to speed up the creation of customized FortiClient installation packages. This tool will create a Microsoft Transform (MST) file from the current FortiClient installation settings. The current settings can be packed into an MST file by running the FCRepackager with no command line parameters.

Optionally, you write the current installation settings into a FortiClient.msi file, so that endusers do not need to use the command line to incorporate MST files. To create a custom msi file, see “Creating the custom MSI installation file” on page 12.

FortiClient Endpoint Security Version 4.0 MR1 Administration Guide 04-40001-99556-20090626 9

Page 16

Creating a customized installer using FCRepackager Custom Installer Packages

Using the FCRepackager tool, you can create a custom installation package in a few steps:

1 Configure FortiClient. FortiClient must be installed and configured with the settings

that you want installed on the end-user computers.

2 Create a custom installation package using either FCRepackager or an MSI editor. The

FCRepackager application is easier to use.

3 Install the customized FortiClient application on your users’ computers. With the proper

administrative permissions, users can even do this themselves.

Creating the MST file with no command line parameters

In order to create an mst file, you need to use the FCRepackager tool. The FCRepackager tool can be extracted from the FortiClientTools.zip file. The FortiClientTools.zip file can be downloaded from the Fortinet Support Web site.

You also need to have FortiClient installed and configured with your desired settings to create the custom mst file.

For more information and examples for creating a customized mst file using switches and switch parameters, see the FCRepackager_Readme.txt file that comes in the FortiClientTools.zip file.

To create the mst file with no command line parameters

1 Download the FortiClientTools.zip file from the Fortinet Support Web site and extract

the files into a folder.

2 Ensure FortiClient is installed and configured with the desired settings. The mst file is

created based on your current FortiClient settings.

3 Run the FCRepackager application. The FortiClient.mst file is automatically created in

the same directory.

Creating the sample installation

You must create a sample installation on a computer running one of the supported operating systems. See “System requirements” on page 1. The computer should not already have the FortiClient application installed.

The ADMINMODE=1 option used in the following procedure enables you to make registry changes to your sample installation, which some customizations require. Also, this option permits modification of files in the FortiClient program directory, which normally only the FortiClient application can access. You should not use the ADMINMODE=1 option when you install of the FortiClient application onto your users’ computers.

To perform the sample installation of the FortiClient software

1 Expand the FortiClient Endpoint Security installer .zip package into a new folder.

2 From the folder where you expanded the .zip package, install the FortiClient

application use the following command line:

• if FortiClient applications will not be centrally managed

msiexec /i FortiClient.msi ADMINMODE=1

The FortiClient application wizard starts. Follow the wizard to install the features you require. Reboot the computer if the installer requests it. When the computer restarts, the FortiClient installation wizard continues.

3 Continue configuring the application. The wizard Advanced Setup option covers

security zones, proxy settings, update settings and AV scan settings. These can also be configured later.

4 Configure the sample installation as you want the FortiClient application to be

configured on your user’s computers.

5 Optionally, perform additional customizations as described in “Performing additional

customizations” on page 11.

See the FortiClient Endpoint Security User Guide for information about configuring each of the FortiClient features.

Performing additional customizations

You can edit the registry to make additional customizations to your FortiClient installation.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Fortinet\FortiClient\FA_FORTITRAY

2 Set the key value to 0.

Permitting fallback to public FDS servers

Managed FortiClient computer receive push updates for antivirus definitions. Mobile users might not always be able to connect to the FortiManager unit. Optionally, you can configure FortiClient to use the default public FDS servers when necessary.

To permit fallback use of public FDS servers

1 Using regedit or regedt32, create the following DWORD value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Fortinet\FortiClient\FA_UPDATE\ FallbackToDefault

2 Set the value to 1.

Disabling saving of VPN XAUTH passwords

This customization prevents users from saving their XAUTH passwords.

To disable saving of XAUTH passwords

3 Set the value of DontRateIP to 1.

Blocking all connections that have no firewall rule

By default, if there is no firewall rule for a particular network connection, the FortiClient application asks the user whether to allow the connection. For an enterprise deployment, you might prefer to block all connections except those that have a specific firewall rule to permit them.

To block all connections by default

1 Using regedit or regedt32, edit the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Fortinet\FortiClient\FA_FCM\firewallbehavior

2 Set the key value to 0.

Changing the certificate key size

The default VPN certificate key size in FortiClient v4.0 is 2048 bits. You can change the size.

To change the certificate key size

1 Using regedit or regedt32, edit the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Fortinet\FortiClient\FA_CERT\key_size

2 Set the key value to one of: 1 (1024 bits), 15 (1536 bits), 2 (2048 bits), 3 (3072 bits) or

4 (4096 bits).

Creating the custom MSI installation file

With the sample application configured as you want for your users, you can create a custom MSI installer file for your customized FortiClient application.

1 Determine the command line options you need for your customized FortiClient installer

from the following table.

Table 1: FCRepackager options

Specify license key (for standard fixed license or volume license from FDS, not for enterprise license)

Lock down program for FortiManager. Specify the plain text password.

Set random AV update time between specified hours. The sample installation must contain an update

schedule.

Specify which features can be installed. The resulting .msi file cannot be used for upgrades,

only for new installations. If the -i option is not specified, all features are available

for installation.

Shrink the .msi file by removing files for unused features. Valid only when used with -m option.

-k <license_key>

-L <lockdown_password>

-s <start_hour>-<end_hour>

-i <feature1>[,<feature2>] ... Features are:

AV Antivirus VPN Virtual Private Network FW Firewall WF Web filter AS Antispam AL AntiLeak

Note: feature names are case-sensitive.

-z

Refer to the FCRepackager_Readme.txt file for more information about command line options.

Custom Installer Packages Creating a customized installer using FCRepackager

2 In the folder where you expanded the installer .zip package, execute the following

command line:

FCRepackager -m FortiClient.msi <options from step 1>

A new subdirectory is created, named transformed. It contains the new FortiClient.msi file.

Customizing the installer language

You can further modify your customized installer with one of the language .mst files provided in the installer .zip file. This must be done as a separate step from the customizations described previously. The language files are:

• 1033.mst = US English (default)

• 1036.mst = French

• 1041.mst = Japanese

• 2052.mst = Simplified Chinese

• 1028.mst = Traditional Chinese

For example, to change your customized installer language to French, execute the following command in the folder where you expanded the installer .zip package:

FCRepackager -t 1036.mst -m transformed\FortiClient.msi

Customizing the FortiClient application for enterprise licensing

If you use enterprise licensing for your FortiClient computer, your FortiClient installer needs specific additional customization. For more information, see “Enterprise licensing”

on page 24.

Deploying the customized FortiClient application

You can distribute your new FortiClient.msi file to users. Users simply double-click the file to begin installation. On a Windows Advanced Server network, you can install the application on end users’ computers remotely. See “Active Directory installation” on

page 17.

VPN certificates can be added to the customized installer.Use the FortiClientVPNEditor file located in the FortiClientVPNTools .zip file. It can be used to embed VPN tunnels into the FortiClient MSI file. See “Using the FortiClient VPN Editor” on page 47 for more information.

Transferring customizations to later versions of FortiClient

When a newer version of FortiClient Endpoint Security is released, your existing users can simply run the FortiClient installer and upgrade while keeping the customized settings. For new users, you will need to create a customized version of the new installer.

To customize the newer FortiClient installer, you do not need to repeat all of the customization steps described previously in this section. When you create your first customized FortiClient installer, you can also save your customizations to a transform (.mst) file. Simply run FCRepackager.exe again with no parameters. The output is a file named FortiClient.mst.

To modify the new FortiClient .msi installer with your saved customizations, use the following command:

FCRepackager -t FortiClient.mst -m FortiClient.msi

If the files are not in the current directory, you need to specify the path to them.

Customizing the installer using an MSI editor Custom Installer Packages

Caution: If you are using FortiClient version 4.0 or lower, the .mst files from those versions are incompatible with FortiClient v4.0 MR1 and above. Therefore, you cannot use the

FCRepackager -t FortiClient.mst -m FortiClient.msi command.

Note: An MSI installation package can upgrade an existing installation only if it has the same name as the original installation package. If necessary, rename the upgrade installation package to match the file name of the previous customized FortiClient installation package you provided to your users.

Customizing the installer using an MSI editor

Use an MSI editor to create a custom FortiClient installation package. For example, you can use the MSI property LICENSE to include your license key. You can create and set this property in the property table, or you can specify it on the command line using the following command:

msiexec /i FortiClient.msi LICENSE=1234567890abc

Note that the installation will not abort if you specify an invalid license key. For a complete list of installer public properties that can be specified when installing FortiClient, see

“Appendix A: Installer Public Properties” for more information. The installer public

properties can also be embedded into the MSI by using an MSI editing tool to make changes to the MSI’s property table.

It is recommended that you use this method only if you are familiar with the MSI editor and you only want to customize a few specific items. Do not edit the MSI file directly. Create a transform file that contains the configuration changes you require. The transform file is applied to the original MSI file at run time by the msiexec.exe executable file. Creating a transform file takes a bit more time than editing the MSI file directly, however it will save you time in the long run as you can apply the same transform file to future FortiClient releases.

Caution: You must follow the editing rules described in this section. Ignoring these rules may result in a custom installation that cannot be upgraded or patched by future releases of FortiClient.

If possible, avoid modifying any other components. FortiClient sub-features do not support “Advertised” installations.

The following rules MUST be followed:

• never delete a feature you do not need. If you do not need a feature, set the install level to 0.

• never delete a component you do not need.

• never move a component from one feature to another.

• never modify the installation UI or installation execution order.

• never rename ANY existing component or feature.

• never change the component code of ANY existing component.

• never change the PRODUCTCODE.

• never change the UPGRADECODE.

• never add new features to the root of the feature tree. If you really need to add a feature, add it as a sub-feature of an existing FortiClient feature. However, before you add a feature, question why you are adding a feature and what you are trying to accomplish.

Custom Installer Packages Customizing the installer using an MSI editor

Creating a FortiClient custom installation

Use an MSI editor and the original FortiClient MSI installation file for the following procedure. These instructions assume you know how to:

• use an MSI editor

• use the command line msiexec commands

• roll out an MSI based installation to your network.

Note: You do not need to edit the MSI to disable the wizard. When you perform a silent or reduced UI installation, the MSI automatically disables the FortiClient Wizard from executing after rebooting the computer.

To create and test a custom FortiClient installation

1 Make a copy of the FortiClient.msi file and rename the copy (i.e. “target.msi”).

2 Open “target.msi” with an MSI editor and add your modifications to it.

3 Save the changes you made to the “target.msi” file and close the file.

4 With your MSI editor, make a transform file (*.mst)

• The base package must be FortiClient.msi.

• The target package must be target.msi.

• Give the .mst file a suitable name. We suggest you include the version of FortiClient

that was used to create the transform. For example, custom_4.0.mst.

5 Test the installation by installing the baseline package with the transform onto a single

computer. Use the following command:

msiexec /i <path to package>FortiClient.msi

TRANSFORMS=custom_4.0.mst /L*v c:\log.txt

where <path to package> is the path to your package if not in the current directory.

There are no spaces in TRANSFORMS=custom_4.0.mst. There is a space between TRANSFORMS=custom_4.0.mst and /L*v c:\log.txt.

If there are any errors during installation, the log file is an invaluable source of information.

6 Test FortiClient to make sure the modifications you made are present and correct. If

there are any mistakes, use your editor to make changes to the .mst file.

7 Test uninstalling the FortiClient software. It is critical that you do this before you roll out

FortiClient to your network. The uninstall must complete without an error or rollback occurring.

8 Roll out your custom FortiClient installation specifying the transform file.

Suppressing Features

To suppress FortiClient features from installing, create a transform which sets the Install Level of the feature to 0 (zero).

Sample command lines

• Install FortiClient

msiexec /i <folder of FortiClient.msi>\FortiClient.msi

FMGRENABLED=1 FMGRTRUSTEDIPS=<FortiClientManager IP>

• Upgrade FortiClient

• Install FortiClient on a computer which is behind a NAT device

msiexec /i <folder of FortiClient.msi>\FortiClient.msi

FMGRENABLED=1 FMGRIP=<FortiClientManager IP> FMGRENABLEDISCOVER=1

• Upgrade FortiClient on a computer which is behind a NAT device

msiexec /i <folder of FortiClient.msi>\FortiClient.msi

FMGRENABLED=1 FMGRIP=<FortiClientManager IP> REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus FMGRENABLEDISCOVER=1

Specifying install log file

When installing using the MSI file, the install does not create the install log automatically. For an MSI installation to produce a log, add the following option to the command line:

/L*v <filepath>

For example:

msiexec /i FortiClient.msi /L*v %temp%\logfile.txt

Alternatively, you can install the appropriate logging active directory group policies.

Language transforms

The MST files that ship with the baseline FortiClient package are the English, Japanese and Simplified Chinese language transforms for the installer user interface:

• 1033.mst = US English

• 1041.mst = Japanese

• 2052.mst = Simplified Chinese

• 1028.mst = Traditional Chinese

Specifying multiple transforms on the command line

You can specify multiple transforms on the command line. Separate each transform with a semicolon. For example:

msiexec /i <path to package>FortiClient.msi

TRANSFORMS=custom4.0.mst;2052.mst

Endpoint NAC (FortiGate) distribution

You can use the FortiGate’s Web Config to manage the version of FortiClient (endpoint control) running on multiple computers. See “Enforcing use of FortiClient software” on

page 29 for more information.

You can also update the FTP/HTTP replacement message on the FortiGate so that the location of the custom installer on your network is shown in the message. Go to System > Config to edit the replacement messages. See the FortiGate Administration Guide for more information on replacement messages.

Custom Installer Packages Managing FortiClient with FortiManager

Active Directory installation

You can customize the FortiClient installation and use the Active Directory Server to install different customized installations on different computers.

The following is a general description of how to deploy the FortiClient software to remote computers using Active Directory Server. For more details, see the Active Directory manuals or online help.

To complete this procedure, you must log on as a member of the Domain Administrators security group, the Enterprise Administrators security group, or the Group Policy Creator Owners security group.

To deploy FortiClient using Active Directory Server

1 Put the FortiClient MSI installation file into a shared folder.

2 Open the Group Policy Object Editor.

3 Select Computer Configuration.

4 Select Software Settings.

5 Right-click Software Installation, select New, and then select Package.

6 Select the FortiClient MSI installation file and select Open.

7 In Deploy Software, select Assigned.

Shared folder installation

You can place the FortiClient.msi file in a shared network folder from which users can install the FortiClient application. The FortiClient.msi file is a compressed archive containing all of the needed files. Creating an uncompressed set of installation files can improve installation speed, especially if the customized FortiClient application does not contain all features.

To create a network installer

1 Create or choose a shared network folder for the installation.

2 From the folder that contains the FortiClient.msi file, execute the following command:

msiexec /qb /a FortiClient.msi TARGETDIR=<location>

where <location> is the path to the shared network folder where you want to place the uncompressed installation files, for example c:\fc_installer\.

The shared network folder contains a FortiClient.msi file that is smaller than the original because the other files have been decompressed into a set of subfolders. To install the customized FortiClient application on their own computer, users simply execute the FortiClient.msi file.

Managing FortiClient with FortiManager

You can install the FortiClient Endpoint Security application from a .zip or .exe package and configure it for central management. The installed FortiClient application can either accept management from a FortiManager unit at a specific IP address, or discover FortiManager units on its network.

For information about centrally managing FortiClient PCs with FortiManager, see the FortiClient Manager chapter of the FortiManager Administration Guide.

Managing FortiClient with FortiManager Custom Installer Packages

Enabling Remote Management with FortiManager

Network administrators can use FortiManager to manage FortiClient installations across a network. This enables the administrator to apply a consistent FortiClient configuration for all users. Managed FortiClient computer receive push updates for antivirus signatures.

To enable remote management using FortiManager, you must create a transform that changes the values of specific properties within the installer.

To enable remote management

1 Create a new, or edit an existing, MSI transform file.

2 Open the Property table and change the value of FMGRENABLED from 0 to 1.

3 Change the property FMGTRUSTEDIPS to the IP address(es) of the FortiManager(s)

that FortiClient will accept commands from.

The addresses can be specified as individual IP address, IP address ranges, or subnets. You can specify a mixed list of addresses, ranges and subnets by separating each value with a comma. For example:

Property Name Property Value Meaning

TRUSTEDIPS

TRUSTEDIPS 172.18.2.0/255.255.255.0 (trust a subnet)

TRUSTEDIPS 172.16.3.1-172.16.3.50 (trust an IP address range)

TRUSTEDIPS 172.16.90.83,172.18.2.0/255.255.255.0,

172.16.90.83 (trust a single IP address only)

172.16.3.1-172.16.3.50 (all the above)

4 Optionally, you can specify the IP address of your FortiManager device at installation

time by setting the value of the property FMGRIP to the IP address of your FortiManager device. The address specified in FMGRIP is automatically trusted and does not need to be added to the FMGTRUSTEDIPS value.

Configuring central management by specified FortiManager units

Using installer command line options, you can specify the IP address of one or more FortiManager units that will control the FortiClient configuration.

The command-line options are as follows:

FMGRENABLED=1 This enables FortiManager central management.

FMGRIP=<FM_IP_Primary> This specifies the primary (or only) FortiManager unit.

If there are multiple FortiManager units that could manage this FortiClient PC, add the following option.

FMGRTRUSTEDIPS=<FM_IP1>,<FM_IP2>,...

<FM_IP1>,<FM_IP2>, and so on can be individual IP addresses, IP address ranges or

subnets. You can omit the FMGRIP option if the primary FortiManager unit IP address is included as a single IP address in the FMGTRUSTEDIPS option.

For a complete list of installer public properties that can be specified when installing FortiClient, see “Appendix A: Installer Public Properties” for more information.

Example command lines for the .exe package

For a FortiClient PC centrally managed by a FortiManager unit on IP address

Changing the default firewall action

By default, the FortiClient firewall allows unknown applications to access the network, or asks the user, depending on the selected firewall profile. (An unknown application is one that is not on the firewall applications list.) To make the FortiClient firewall always block unknown applications, add the DEFAULTAPPLICATION=1 command line option when you run the FortiClient installer.

Advanced Scenarios

Installing FortiClient as part of a cloned disk image

If you configure computer using a cloned hard disk image, you need to remove the unique identifier from the FortiClient application. You will encounter problems with FortiManager Server if you deploy multiple FortiClient applications with the same identifier.

This section describes how to include a custom FortiClient installation in a cloned hard disk image but remove its unique identifier. On each computer configured with the cloned hard disk image, the FortiClient application will generate its own unique identifier the first time the computer is started.

To include a FortiClient installation in a hard disk image

1 Using an MSI FortiClient installer, install and configure the FortiClient application to suit

your requirements.

You can use a standard or a customized installation package.

2 Right-click the FortiClient icon in the system tray and select Shutdown FortiClient.

3 From the folder where you expanded the FortiClient .zip package, run

RemoveFCTID.exe. The RemoveFCTID tool requires administrative rights.

Note: Do not make the RemoveFCTID tool part of a logon script.

4 Shut down the computer.

Note: Do not reboot the Windows operating system on the computer before you create the

hard disk image. The FortiClient identifier is created before you log on.

5 Create the hard disk image and deploy it as needed.

Installing FortiClient on cloned computers

If you intend to make an image of the hard drive for deployment to other computers, you need to shut down FortiClient and use the RemoveFCTID tool to remove the FortiClient identifier. For more information, see “Installing FortiClient as part of a cloned disk image”

on page 20.

Installing FortiClient on Citrix servers

You can install FortiClient Endpoint Security on Citrix Presentation Server 4.5 in a Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 environment.

You can use a standard or a customized installation package, but you must select the Custom installation option and make sure that you do not install the VPN feature. Citrix uses the Windows IPsec service, which the FortiClient VPN would disable.

To implement per-user web filtering, you need to define web filter profiles for your users. For more information, see the FortiClient Endpoint Security User Guide.

Configuring AntiLeak for FortiClient

The AntiLeak data loss prevention (DLP) feature prevents accidental leakage of sensitive information through email messages. When you send an email message using Microsoft Outlook (2000 or later), FortiClient searches the attachments for the words or patterns in your sensitive words list. If any of the words or patterns are found, FortiClient logs the message and can also block sending of the message.

Caution: Anti-Leak is available to those users upgrading from FortiClient 3.0 who were previously using this feature. For a more comprehensive anti-leak solution, see data leak prevention (DLP) in the FortiGate Administration Guide.

AntiLeak can examine the following file types:

• text (.txt)

• Microsoft Word (.doc)

• Microsoft Excel (.xls)

• Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt)

• Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf)

To use AntiLeak in FortiClient, you will have to create a custom installer package with AntiLeak enabled.

To configure AntiLeak settings

1 Open the MSI in an MSI editor.

2 Navigate to the Feature table.

3 Find the record where the Feature field is Feature_AntiLeak.

4 In that record, change the Display field to 1.

5 Change the InstallLevel field to 1.

6 Save and close the MSI.

FortiClient Licensing Overview

FortiClient Licensing

Some features of FortiClient require a license in order to use the feature. This chapter describes how to license FortiClient for a single user or in an enterprise environment.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Overview

• Standard fixed licensing

• Enterprise licensing

Overview

There are two modes of license management for your FortiClient computer.

Standard Fixed License

Enterprise License The FortiManager unit controls licensing for FortiClient computer. There

Vol ume Instead of distributing a volume license key to your users, you install the

Standard fixed licensing

There are several ways to apply standard fixed licensing:

• Provide the license key to your users to enter into the FortiClient application.

• Create a customized FortiClient installer that includes the license key. Distribute the customized FortiClient installer to your users. The FCRepackager tool -k option enables embedding of a standard fixed license key. For more information, see

“Creating a customized installer using FCRepackager” on page 9.

• If you manage FortiClient computer with a FortiManager unit, you can also manage their licenses. See “To assign a standard fixed license with FortiManager”, next.

The FortiClient application is licensed by means of a license key entered into the application. The license can be a single-user or a volume license. FortiManager does not manage this method of licensing, but it can distribute the license keys.

are two types of enterprise licensing:

license on your FortiManager unit. The license is applied to all of your managed FortiClient computers that do not have a standard fixed license. The volume license has a seat limit which the FortiManager unit enforces.

Volume license managed by FortiManager requires the forticlient msi parameter set to 1.

license into client licenses for your users. You can set the expiry date and seat count for each client license. The expiry date of your client licenses cannot be later than that of the enterprise license. The total seat count limit of your client licenses can exceed the seat count limit of the enterprise license, but the total number of managed clients cannot.

The FortiClient application must be specifically customized for use with redistributable licensing. You can include the client license key in the customized FortiClient installer or provide the license key to users to enter manually.

To assign a standard fixed license with FortiManager

1 Using FortiClient Manager, organize the managed FortiClient computer into client

groups where all members use the same license key.

For more information, see “Working with FortiClient groups” in the FortiClient chapter of the FortiManager Administration Guide.

2 In the FortiClient Manager, go to Manage > FortiClient Key and select Add to add a

license key to the FortiManager database.

3 In the License Key field, enter the license key.

4 Optionally, enter a description.

5 In the Available Group(s) list, select the client groups that use this license key and then

select the green right arrow button to move the selected groups to the Assigned Group(s) list.

6 Click OK.

7 In the FortiClient License Key Management list, select the Deploy to group icon for the

license key that you added. Click OK to confirm your request to deploy.

Enterprise licensing

To use enterprise licensing, you need to:

1 Obtain an Enterprise License from FortiCare and register it on your FortiManager unit.

For more information, see “Configuring enterprise licenses” on page 24.

2 Create at least one enterprise client license for your FortiClient computer. For more

information, see “Creating enterprise client license keys” on page 25.

3 Create a custom FortiClient installer that enables enterprise licensing. You can include

the client license key in the installer or provide the client license key to users to apply after installation. For more information, see “Creating customized FortiClient installers”

on page 25.

4 Deploy the customized FortiClient installer to your users.

Configuring enterprise licenses

You need to register your enterprise license on your FortiManager unit.

To configure the enterprise license

1 In the FortiClient Manager, go to Settings > Enterprise License.

2 In the License Mode section, select Enterprise License.

3 In the Enterprise License Key field, enter the license key purchased from FortiCare.

4 Select Download to register the license. Information about the license displays below

the Enterprise License Key field.

5 In the Validation Type section, select Internal Validation.

Creating enterprise client license keys

After you register your enterprise license (see “Configuring enterprise licenses” on

page 24), you can create enterprise client licenses for your FortiClient computer. For each

client license, you can set the seat limit. The total number of seats licensed through enterprise client licenses cannot exceed the number of seats that the enterprise license permits.

To create enterprise client license keys

1 Go to Setting > Enterprise License.

You must have an enterprise license registered on the FortiManager unit. For more information, see “Configuring enterprise licenses” on page 24.

2 Select the Enterprise Client License Management link.

The list of enterprise client licenses is displayed.

3 Click Add.

The New Client License window opens, with an enterprise client license key value in place.

4 In the Name field, enter a name to identify the license.

5 In the Seats Permitted field, enter a number seats that is no larger than the maximum

shown at the right.

6 In the Expiry Date field, enter a date that is no later than that of the enterprise license.

7 Optionally, enter a description.

8 Click OK.

Deploying enterprise client license keys

An enterprise client license key is effective only on FortiClient installations that are customized to accept an enterprise license instead of a standard fixed license.

You need to create a customized FortiClient installer using the FCRepackager tool, available in the FortiClient .zip installation package. Your customized installer can include the license key, or you can distribute the license key separately to your users.

Creating customized FortiClient installers

To support enterprise licensing, you must make specific customizations of the installer.

1 Create a model FortiClient installation on a computer.

If you want to make other customizations in the FortiClient installer, you should make them first, following the procedures in the Customization chapter. See “Creating a

customized installer using FCRepackager” on page 9. Then, install the result of those

customizations as your model installation.

2 Customize licensing by using the FCRepackager tool with the following command line

options:

• -f <FortiManager_IP>, where <FortiManager_IP> is the IP address or fully qualified domain name of the FortiManager unit that will license the FortiClient computer,

• -a <license_model>, where <license_model> is 1 for enterprise client license with FortiManager validation or 2 for enterprise client license with external validation,

• -e <client license key>, where <client license key> is the enterprise client license key created on the FortiManager unit. You can omit this command line option if you prefer to distribute the license key in some other way,

• -m <installer_file>, where <installer_file> is the FortiClient .msi installer file you used to create the model installation.

For example, to customize the FortiClient installer at c:\FortiClient to receive licensing and validation from the FortiManager unit at 172.20.120.161, with client license key 116c2d1ae25f071cc53a013db36040836e, the command is (all on one line):

Corporate Security Policies Overview

Corporate Security Policies

Corporate Security Policies can be set up to enforce the use of certain FortiClient features. This is commonly used to ensure that users of remote VPN connections are in compliance with the established security policies.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Overview

• Configuring a corporate security policy

Overview

You can set a security policy for your managed FortiClient computer. Users cannot use a VPN connection unless the FortiClient settings comply with the policy. The security policy can require that any or all of the following features are enabled:

• Antivirus (real-time protection)

•Antispam

• Firewall (Normal mode)

• Web Filter

This provides security when users connect to your corporate network through a VPN.

User view of security policy

If a corporate security policy is set, the FortiClient Console General tab includes a Corporate Policy Compliance section that displays the compliance status of the FortiClient computer.

Figure 1: Corporate policy compliance status - in compliance

If the user disables any of the required features, the FortiClient computer is no longer in compliance with the policy. If a VPN tunnel is in use, it is disconnected. The Corporate Policy Compliance status changes to show the following.

Figure 2: Corporate policy compliance status - not in compliance

The user can bring FortiClient settings into compliance again by selecting the check box.

Configuring a corporate security policy Corporate Security Policies

Configuring a corporate security policy

You configure your corporate security policy in the FortiClient Manager module of the FortiManager unit. It is simplest to apply security policies to client groups. If you have already created client groups, you can create security policies for those groups. If your FortiClient computer are ungrouped, you can create a client group for the purpose of applying security policies.

Tip: You can also configure corporate security policies using the installer public property COMPLIANCE_POLICY. See “Appendix A: Installer Public Properties” on page 57 for more information.

To configure a security policy

1 In the FortiClient Manager, go to Client/Group > Group.

2 Select the client group that you want to configure.

3 From the FortiClient menu, select VPN > Security Policy.

4 Select any of the following policies that you want to enforce:

• Firewall must be enabled

• Realtime AV must be enabled

• Webfiltering must be enabled

• Antispam must be enabled

5 Select Apply.

6 Repeat steps 2 through 5 if you want to create security policies for other client groups.

7 Go to Manage > Deploy Configuration.

8 Select the client group(s) where you created security policies and then select Deploy.

When the updated configuration is deployed to the FortiClient computer, their configuration settings are made compliant with the policy. On the FortiClient Console General tab, the Corporate Policy Compliance section shows the status message, “FortiClient is compliant with corporate policy.”

Endpoint Network Access Control Overview

Endpoint Network Access Control

This chapter describes how to enforce the use of FortiClient by using a FortiGate unit’s Endpoint NAC feature.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Overview

• Enforcing use of FortiClient software

• Configuring FortiGuard Services

• Setting the FortiClient version

• Enabling Endpoint Control

Overview

FortiGate units prevent viruses and other threats on the Internet from passing through the firewall to your private network. However, a computer, especially a portable computer, might become infected from media or unprotected connection to another network. This infection could spread on your internal network. FortiClient Endpoint Control protects the computer on which it is installed.

Endpoint NAC (Network Access Control) enforces the use of FortiClient endpoint security in your network. The compliance check ensures that the endpoint is running the most recent version of the FortiClient software, checks that the antivirus signatures are up-todate, and are not using any blocked applications (application detection).

You enable endpoint control in a FortiGate firewall policy. When traffic attempts to pass through the firewall policy, the FortiGate unit runs compliance checks on the originating host on the source interface. Non-compliant endpoints are blocked. If web browsing, they receive a message telling them that they are non-compliant, or they are redirected to a web portal where they can download the FortiClient application installer.

Enforcing use of FortiClient software

Endpoint control requires that all hosts using the firewall policy have FortiClient Endpoint Security software installed. Make sure that all hosts affected by this policy are able to install this software. Currently, FortiClient Endpoint Security is available for Microsoft Windows 2000 and later only.

To set up endpoint control on your FortiGate unit, you need to

• Enable FortiGuard. This is required if you will use FortiGuard Services to update FortiClient software or antivirus signatures. You do not need to enter account information. See “Configuring FortiGuard Services” on page 30.

• Set the minimum required version of FortiClient and configure the source of FortiClient installer downloads for non-compliant endpoints. See “Setting the FortiClient version”

on page 30.

• Enable endpoint control in the appropriate FortiGate firewall policies. See “Enabling

Endpoint Control” on page 32.

Configuring FortiGuard Services Endpoint Network Access Control

Note: You cannot enable Endpoint Compliance Check in firewall policies if the Redirect HTTP Challenge to a Secure Channel (HTTPS) option is enabled in User > Options > Authentication.

Optionally, you can configure software detection to monitor whether endpoints have specific applications installed. For more information, see the Endpoint control chapter of the FortiGate Administration Guide.

Configuring FortiGuard Services

The FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN) and FortiGuard Services. The FDN provides updates to antivirus definitions, IPS definitions, and the Antispam rule set. FortiGuard Services include FortiGuard web filtering and the FortiGuard Analysis and Management Service. You must be connected to the FortiGuard subscription service in order to receive the services.

You can see if your FortiGate unit is connected to FortiGuard Services by going to Endpoint NAC > Config and seeing a check mark next to FortiGuard Availability.

Figure 3: FortiGuard Availability

Go to System > Maintenance > FortiGuard to configure your FortiGate unit to use the FortiGuard Distribution Network and FortiGuard Services.

Setting the FortiClient version

By default, FortiClient software is provided by FortiGuard Services and the latest version is the required version. In your FortiGate unit’s web-based manager, go to Endpoint NAC > Config to view the current settings as well as the latest available versions of FortiClient software and antivirus signatures. There is a warning if FortiGuard service is not available.

If the version of FortiClient running on the endpoint does not meet the required version or does not have up to date antivirus, firewall, and database, the non-compliant computer will be blocked with the following exceptions:

• The user can download the required version of FortiClient.

• The user can update the antivirus definition files.

If the user attempts to access any web page, they will receive a message stating that they can update or install FortiClient or update the antivirus definitions.

To set the required FortiClient version and the download location

1 In your FortiGate unit’s web-based manager, go to Endpoint NAC > Config and select

the FortiClient tab.

Uploading the FortiClient installer to your FortiGate unit

If you selected This FortiGate as the FortiClient Installer Download Location, you need to upload the FortiClient installer to the FortiGate unit.

The FortiClient installer file name must begin with “FortiClientSetup_”, followed by the version number, “4.0.2”, for example. You can upload either a .msi or .exe package.

To upload the FortiClient installer to the FortiGate unit

1 Place your installer file on a TFTP server that the FortiGate unit can access.

2 Connect to the FortiGate unit’s command line interface (CLI).

You can connect to the CLI through the FortiGate console, using SSH or Telnet (if enabled), or by using the CLI Console window that is part of the web-based manager.

3 Enter the following CLI command

execute restore forticlient tftp <filename> <server_ip>

where <filename> is, for example, FortiClientSetup_4.0.2.msi and <server_ip> is the IP address of the TFTP server.

The TFTP server uploads the file to the FortiGate unit.

For more information about using the CLI, refer to the FortiGate CLI Reference.

4 You can see the currently stored version of FortiClient software in the System

Information section of the FortiGate unit dashboard. To view the dashboard, go to System > Status.

Enabling Endpoint Control

In order for a FortiGate unit to monitor applications, enforce antivirus and firewall use, and ensure antivirus definitions are up to date on FortiClient, do the following:

• Create an Endpoint Control profile

• Create an application detection list

• Apply an Endpoint Control profile to a firewall policy

After these steps are completed, you can then monitor the endpoints.

Creating Endpoint Control profiles

Create endpoint control profiles so that you can apply them to firewall policies. This allows the FortiGate unit to monitor which applications are running and installed through FortiClient and enable the enforcement of FortiClient features such as antivirus and firewall.

Creating FortiClient VPNs Overview

Creating FortiClient VPNs

This chapter describes how create policy-based, route-based, and SSL VPNs using FortiClient, FortiGate, or FortiClient Manager.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Configuring VPN connections using FortiClient

• Configuring VPN connections on FortiGate units

• Configuring VPN connections using FortiManager

• Configuring VPN connections using custom installations

• Configuring the FortiGate gateway as a policy server

Overview

There are several ways to create VPN connections for remote users:

• FortiClient

• FortiGate

• FortiManager

• Custom installation

Configuring VPN connections using FortiClient

FortiClient Endpoint Security can establish a VPN tunnel between your computer and a FortiGate unit or other VPN gateway. You can set up a VPN using one of the following types in VPN > Connections:

• Automatic IPsec

• Manual IPsec

• SSL VPN

See the FortiClient Endpoint Security Guide for more information on how to configure VPNs in FortiClient.

Configuring VPN connections on FortiGate units

There are several ways to configure FortiGate units to accept VPN connections from FortiClient users.

• A policy-based VPN.

• A route-based VPN.

• SSL VPN.

For information on how to set up VPN connections using a FortiGate unit, see the

FortiGate Administration Guide.

Configuring VPN connections using FortiManager Creating FortiClient VPNs

About split tunneling

Split tunneling allows the remote access VPN client to connect to the corporate network via the VPN link, and connect to the Internet via the interface the VPN connection was established over (not the VPN channel itself).

For example, suppose you have a remote access VPN client connecting to the corporate network over a wireless network. The user with split tunneling enabled is able to connect to file servers, database servers, mail servers and other servers on the corporate network through the VPN connection. In contrast, when the user connects to Internet resources (web sites, FTP sites, etc), the connection request doesn’t go through the VPN link, it goes through the wireless connection and out the gateway provided by the hotel network.

When using FortiClient:

• If split tunneling is enabled, then when the user connects to the FortiGate unit, it will tell the VPN client that split tunneling is allowed and will send back the lists of routes. The routes are then installed on the user’s computer at the top of its routing table.

• If split tunneling is disabled, the FortiGate unit will tell the VPN client to direct all traffic through the FortiGate. This will have the same effect as installing a default route on the client to send all traffic over the VPN. Note that the local network routes take

priority over the default route so the remote user can still send traffic on the local network outside the tunnel.

For example, a FortiGate unit is allowing users to access two networks via SSL VPN:

• 10.0.0.0/24

• 11.0.0.0/24

The client has two interfaces: Wireless1 and VPN1 where VPN1 is the SSL VPN tunnel.

Per-User Web Filtering Overview

Per-User Web Filtering

This chapter describes how to deploy the FortiClient application to perform web filtering customized for each user on a Microsoft Windows network. For larger deployments, a FortiManager system simplifies management of user web filter profiles.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Overview

• Configuring web filtering

Overview

FortiClient Endpoint Security web filtering controls access to web sites based on FortiGuard Service web site rating categories and black/white URL lists. The web filter profile selects which FortiGuard categories the user is permitted to access. Additionally, URLs in the black list are always blocked and URLs in the white list are always permitted.

You select a web filter profile for each user or user group. Users with no assigned profile are assigned to a global profile. You can create as many profiles as you need, one per user if necessary.

You can define web filter profiles and users locally in the FortiClient application. This is most suitable for a computer with a limited number of users, or if you decide to assign occasional users to a default web filter profile. For information about configuring FortiClient web filtering, see the Web Filter chapter of the FortiClient Endpoint Security

User Guide.

If you have many FortiClient installations, you can manage their configurations with a FortiManager unit. This eliminates the need to configure all of the profiles and users on every FortiClient application you install.

Web filtering on Windows networks

On a Microsoft Windows network, any user can log on at any computer. If you want to perform web filtering configurable to the group or user level, you can use a FortiManager unit to provide web filter profile information to each FortiClient application as needed.

Web filtering for remote users

You can install FortiClient on a Windows Terminal Server or a Citrix Presentation Server to provide web filtering for remote users on a Windows network. The user’s computer does not need to have the FortiClient application installed. See “Installing FortiClient on Citrix

servers” on page 20.

Configuring web filtering

To manage FortiClient web-filtering with a FortiManager unit, you need to:

• add each FortiClient computer as a managed client

• define the web filter profiles you will assign to users

• configure LDAP settings to obtain Windows group/user information

Using the FortiClient VPN Editor Configuring VPNs without FortiClient Endpoint Security

To start the FortiClient VPN editor

1 Expand the FortiClient VPN package into a folder.

2 Go to the tools subfolder.

3 Double-click FortiClientVPNEditor.exe.

To provide VPN tunnel definitions to your users, you will need to import or configure the VPN settings in the FortiClient VPN editor.

Importing VPN tunnel settings

If the computer you use to run the FortiClient VPN editor also has the FortiClient application installed on it, the FortiClient tunnel configurations are available in the FortiClient VPN editor. This is convenient if your FortiClient application has the same tunnel configuration that you want to provide to your users.

You can also import tunnel definitions into the FortiClient VPN editor from .vpl or .vpz export files, or from customized FortiClient installer files (.msi).

Note: The .vpz export file contains both the tunnel settings and any certificates the tunnel requires. If possible, import a .vpz file instead of a .vpl file for tunnels that use certificates.

To import VPN tunnel settings

1 In the FortiClient VPN editor, select the Tunnels tab.

2 Select Import.

3 In the Open window, select one of the following file types:

• a VPN policy package (.vpz)

• a VPN policy files (.vpl)

• a customized FortiClient installer file (.msi)

4 Select Open.

The imported tunnels are listed.

Configuring VPN tunnel settings

If you do not have a source from which to import VPN settings, you can configure a VPN tunnel just as you would in the FortiClient application. Both automatic configuration and manual configuration are supported. Automatic configuration is compatible with a FortiGate remote gateway configured as a VPN policy server. For more information, see the FortiClient Endpoint Security User Guide.

To configure a VPN tunnel - automatic configuration

1 In the FortiClient VPN editor, select the Tunnels tab.

2 Select New.

3 In the New Connection window, enter a connection name.

4 For Configuration, select Automatic.

5 For Policy Server, enter the IP address or FQDN of the FortiGate gateway.

Configuring certificates for FortiClient VPN

Configuring certificates is optional. Many VPN configurations do not use certificates.

If the computer you use to run the FortiClient VPN editor also has the FortiClient application installed on it, FortiClient certificates are available in the FortiClient VPN editor. You can also import certificates.

The FortiClient VPN Editor configures certificates in exactly the same way as the FortiClient application. Only the page names differ.

FortiClient VPN Editor page FortiClient Endpoint Security page

Certificates VPN > My Certificates

Certificate Authorities VPN > CA Certificates

Revocation Lists VPN > CRL

Refer to the “Managing digital certificates” section in the VPN chapter of the FortiClient

Endpoint Security User Guide for detailed information about working with certificates.

Exporting configurations to the FortiClient VPN installer

When you have finished creating configurations in the FortiClient VPN Editor, you can easily export them to a FortiClient VPN installer. If you configured any certificates, these are also exported.

To export the tunnel configurations

1 On the Tunnels page, select the Export check box for each tunnel configuration that

you want to export.

2 Select the Export button.

The Save As window opens.

3 In the Save as type list, select Installer Package File (*.msi).

4 Locate the FortiClient VPN installer file to update with VPN tunnel configurations.

5 Select Save.

You can also save configurations to a VPN policy file (.vpl) or policy package (.vpz) for distribution to FortiClient Endpoint Security users. The policy package is the preferred format because the file is password protected and it includes any certificates that the tunnel requires.

Using the FortiClient API Overview

Using the FortiClient API

You can operate FortiClient VPNs using the COM-based FortiClient API.

This chapter contains the following sections:

• Overview

• Controlling a VPN

• Setting and monitoring a security policy

• API reference

Overview

The FortiClient COM library provides functionality to:

• Retrieve a list of the VPN tunnels configured in the FortiClient application.

• Start and stop any of the configured VPN tunnels.

• Send XAuth credentials.

• Set the security policy for the FortiClient VPN.

• Retrieve status information:

• configured tunnel list

• active tunnel name

• connected or not

• idle or not

• remaining key life

• current security policy

• Respond to FortiClient-related events:

• VPN connect

• VPN disconnect

• VPN is idle

• no longer in compliance with security policy

• XAuth authentication requested

Controlling a VPN

This section uses example code snippets in Visual Basic to show how to operate a VPN tunnel programmatically.

Linking to the COM library

The COM library for FortiClient is fccomintdll.dll, located in the FortiClient installation directory, by default c:\Program Files\Fortinet\FortiClient. Using your development environment, create a reference to this library.

Begin FCCOMINTDLLLibCtl.VPN VPN1

http://docs.fortinet.com/ • Feedback

Page 58

Controlling a VPN Using the FortiClient API

This creates VPN1 as the FortiClient object.

Depending on your development environment, you might also need a type library file. You can find the file FCCOMIntDLL.tlb in the FortiClient .zip installation package.

Retrieving a list of VPN connection names

If needed, you can obtain a list of the VPN connections configured in the FortiClient application. The GetTunnelList function returns an array of the names.

tunnelList = VPN1.GetTunnelList

Typically, an application might put the tunnel names into a list from which the user chooses the required tunnel name. In this example, the list control List1 is populated with the tunnel names:

List1.Clear

For i = LBound(tunnelList) To UBound(tunnelList)

List1.AddItem (tunnelList(i))

Opening the VPN tunnel

Use the Connect method to establish the tunnel. The only parameter is the tunnel name, as configured in the FortiClient application. In this example, the tunnel name is “Office”:

VPN1.Connect “Office”

Responding to XAuth requests

If the VPN peer requires you to supply XAuth credentials, you can easily provide for this by writing code that responds to the On XAuthRequest event. In this example, a small window opens in which the user enters the user name and password.

Private Sub VPN1_OnXAuthRequest(ByVal bstrTunnelName As String)

Dialog.Show 1

outUserName = "" outPassword = "" outSavePassword = False

If Not Dialog.Cancelled Then outUserName = Dialog.UserName outPassword = Dialog.Password outSavePassword = Dialog.SavePassword End If

VPN1.SendXAuthResponse bstrTunnelName, outUserName,

outPassword, outSavePassword

Using the FortiClient API Setting and monitoring a security policy

Monitoring the connection

There are both function-based and event-based ways to monitor the VPN connection.

Events

The FortiClient API includes event calls for which you write appropriate code. Using events, you can provide live status information for users. This example shows how an application could respond to the OnConnect and OnDisconnect events by updating a user interface display. A check box, ConnectCheck, is selected when the VPN connects and cleared when the VPN disconnects.

Private Sub VPN1_OnConnect(ByVal bstrTunnelName As String)

ConnectCheck.Value = 1 textName = bstrTunnelName End Sub

Private Sub VPN1_OnDisconnect(ByVal bstrTunnelName As String)

ConnectCheck.Value = 0 textName = bstrTunnelName End Sub

There is also an OnIdle event.

Functions

At any time, you can programmatically determine which VPN connection is active using the GetActiveTunnel function, like this:

TunnelName = VPN1.GetActiveTunnel

The returned string is empty if no VPN tunnel is up.

The boolean function IsConnected returns True if the named connection is up, like this:

If IsConnected("Office") Then

Rem perform functions requiring Office VPN

....

End If

There is also an IsIdle function.

Setting and monitoring a security policy

The FortiClient application can enforce a security policy. Users cannot use a VPN connection unless the FortiClient settings comply with the policy. The security policy can require that any or all of the following features are enabled:

• Antivirus (real-time protection)

•Antispam

• Firewall (Normal mode)

• Web Filter

This is usually applied in an enterprise environment to provide security when users connect to the corporate network through a VPN. A FortiManager unit can deploy the security policy to FortiClient computer.

The FortiClient API can also create a security policy. This section uses example code snippets in Visual Basic to show how to set and monitor a corporate security policy programmatically.

Setting and monitoring a security policy Using the FortiClient API

Setting a security policy

The SetPolicy method passes four boolean values, one for each feature: antivirus, antispam, firewall, and web filter. If the value is True, the policy requires that the feature is enabled. It is quite easy to create a check box for each of the boolean values and call SetPolicy in response to the user selecting a “Set Policy” button.

In this example, check boxes are named for the features (AVcheck for the antivirus check box, for example) and the “Set Policy” button is named SetSecPolicy.

Private Sub SetSecPolicy_Click()

VPN1.SetPolicy AVcheck.Value, AScheck.Value, FWcheck.Value,

WFcheck.Value

The FortiClient application receives the policy but does not change any settings. The FortiClient General tab and system tray menu show the option “Make compliant with corporate policy”.

If you want to programmatically make the FortiClient settings comply with the policy you set, you must use the MakeSystemPolicyCompliant method.

Reading a security policy

You can retrieve the security policy from the FortiClient application with the GetPolicy method. This returns four boolean values, one for each feature: antivirus, antispam, firewall, and web filter. If the value is True, the policy requires that the feature is enabled. If all four values are False, there is no security policy.

This example uses the returned boolean values to set check boxes named for the features (AVcheck for the antivirus check box, for example).

VPN1.GetPolicy a, b, c, d AVcheck.Value = Int(a) If b Then

AScheck.Value = 1

Else

AScheck.Value = 0 End If If c Then

FWcheck.Value = 1 Else

FWcheck.Value = 0 End If If d Then

WFcheck.Value = 1 Else

WFcheck.Value = 0 End If

The check boxes show the state of each feature in the policy. You could then make changes to the policy and set them using the SetPolicy method, as shown in “Setting a

security policy” on page 54.

Monitoring policy compliance

The FortiClient API includes event calls for which you write appropriate code. Using events, you can provide live status information for users. The OnOutOfCompliance event returns four boolean values, one for each feature. A value of True indicates that the feature is not in compliance with the policy.
