Appendix C – Rebrand FortiClient

Appendix C – Rebrand FortiClient

The FortiClient Configurator can be used to create custom FortiClient MSI installers with various combinations. The customized MSI installer generated may be used to install FortiClient on all supported platforms using Active Directory. A FortiClient setup executable file is also generated for manual distribution.

Under Options, you can select to enable software updates, configure the single sign-on mobility agent, and rebrand FortiClient. Rebranding allows you to edit various UI elements including graphics.

When replacing files in the resource folder, the replacement file should be the same file type and dimensions. Icons (.ico) are a special case. The Main_icon.ico file for example, is a composite file of multiple icons. The operating system picks the appropriate icon size from this file for the context in which the icon is being displayed.

Web Security/Web Filter

Web Security/Web Filter

Web Security/Web Filter allows you to block, allow, warn, and monitor web traffic based on URL category or custom URL filters. URL categorization is handled by the FortiGuard Distribution Network (FDN). You can create a custom URL filter exclusion list which overrides the FDN category.

When a FortiClient endpoint is connected to FortiGate/EMS, the Web Security tab becomes the Web Filter tab in the FortiClient console.

Enable/disable Web Security/Web Filter

For FortiClient in standalone mode, you can enable, disable, and configure web security by using the FortiClient console. You can define what sites are allowed, blocked, or monitored, and you can view violations.

For FortiClient in managed mode, an administrator enables, disables, and configures Web Filter by using a FortiClient profile. See FortiClient profiles on page 29.

Enable/disable Web Security

This setting can only be configured when FortiClient is in standalone mode.

To enable or disable Web Security:

On EMS, web filtering is part of the endpoint profile.
