Creating a FortiClient installer
Now you must create a FortiClient installer. You will use this installer to deploy FortiClient with SFA components to endpoints. SFA is enabled by default in the FortiClient installer, as seen in the steps below. Include any other features in the installer as desired.
When you create a FortiClient installer in FortiClient EMS, an installer for the Windows operating system and an installer for the macOS operating system are added to FortiClient EMS.
|
After you add a FortiClient installer to FortiClient EMS, you cannot edit it. You can delete the installer from FortiClient EMS, and edit the installer outside of FortiClient EMS. You can then add the edited installer to FortiClient EMS. |
- Go to Profile Components > Manage Installers.
- Click Add.
- On the General tab, set the following options.
Name
Enter the FortiClient installer's name. In the example, the installer's name is FCT_603, to indicate that is used to deploy FortiClient 6.0.3.
Notes
Enter any notes about the FortiClient installer. This field is optional.
Version
Select the FortiClient version to install. The example is configured for FortiClient 6.0.
Patch version
Select the specific FortiClient patch version to install. The example is configured for FortiClient 6.0.3.
Keep updated to the latest patch
Select to enable FortiClient to automatically update to the latest patch release when FortiClient is installed on an endpoint. This is optional and has not been enabled in this example.
- Click Next. On the Features tab, you can select which features to include in the installer. In this example, only Security Fabric Agent has been enabled.
- Click Next. On the Advanced tab, you can set additional options for the installer. In this example, only automatic registration is enabled for the installer. This allows FortiClient to automatically connect Telemetry to EMS or FortiGate after FortiClient is installed on the endpoint.
- Click Next. The Telemetry tab displays the hostname and IP address of the EMS server, which will manage FortiClient once it is installed on the endpoint. In the Gateway list dropdown list, select the gateway list created in Creating a gateway list. In this example, this is QA_FGT_600.
- Click Save. The FortiClient installer is added to FortiClient EMS and displays on the Manage Installers pane.
