Significant updates and improvements have been made to the SSL VPN web portal in preparation for future browser updates, and in order to support all browsers:

  • SSL VPN web portal redesigned.
  • SSL VPN tunnel mode widget no longer works in the web portal.The tunnel mode widget used a deprecated NPAPI plugin mechanism to send the tunnel client to the browser for local system execution—this is a popular exploitation vector. FortiClient is now required for tunnel mode SSL VPN.
  • SSL VPN Web mode RDP Native java applet removed.
  • Removed unnecessary options from RDP bookmark and changed to HTML5 RDP.
  • Cache cleaning function has been removed.
