Profile |
XML configuration file provided from FortiGate or EMS to the endpoint when in managed or integrated mode. In FortiOS, administrators configure a FortiClient Compliance Profile. This profile defines compliance rules for endpoint access to the network through FortiGate. It also defines how FortiGate handles endpoints that fail to comply with compliance rules. In EMS, administrators configure an endpoint profile. This profile defines the configuration for FortiClient software on endpoints. Unless referring specifically to a profile created using FortiOS or EMS, this guide uses the term profile when referring to a FortiClient Compliance Profile or an endpoint profile received by FortiClient. |
