Managed mode with FortiGate
When FortiClient Telemetry is connected to FortiGate and the FortiGate administrator has disabled compliance, network access compliance (NAC) is not enforced. The Compliance & Telemetry tab displays Not Participating and you are not required to maintain a compliant status to access the network.
When FortiClient Telemetry is connected to FortiGate and the FortiGate administrator has enabled compliance, NAC is enforced and you may be required to maintain a compliant status to access the network, depending on how FortiGate enforces NAC.
If FortiGate is configured to block network access for endpoints with non-compliant status, certain requirements must be met to maintain a compliant status and network access. See FortiGate and FortiClient Compliance profiles.

When FortiGate is integrated with EMS, the endpoint may also receive a profile from EMS that contains FortiClient configuration information. |
If FortiGate is configured to warn endpoints about non-compliant status, you can acknowledge the status and access the network without fixing the issues causing a non-compliant status.
The following dialog box shows an example of an endpoint connected to a FortiGate with the compliance feature disabled.
