<version>

Determine the IKE version. FortiClient 6.2.9 supports IKE v1 and IKE v2. Enter 1 or 2.

<prompt_certificate>

Prompt for certificate on connection.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<implied_SPDO>

Specify which ports allow traffic. When this setting is 0, FortiClient only allows traffic from ports 500 and 4500. When this setting is 1, FortiClient allows other traffic during the connection phase, including Internet traffic.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<implied_SPDO_timeout>

When <implied_SPDO> is set to 1, <implied_SPDO_timeout> is the timeout in seconds.

FortiClient blocks all outbound non-IKE packets when <implied_SPDO> is set to 1. This is a security feature in the IPsec protocol. If the network traffic goes through a captive portal, the intended IPsec VPN server may be unreachable, until the user provides some credentials on a web page. Thus, setting <implied_SPDO> to 1 may have the side effect of blocking access to the captive portal, which in turn blocks access to the IPsec VPN server.

To avoid this deadlock, set <implied_SPDO_timeout> to a value greater than 0. FortiClient allows all outbound traffic (including non-IKE traffic) for the duration configured. Some users find that a value of 30 or 60 seconds suffices. If <implied_SPDO_timeout> is set to 0, the <implied_SPDO> element behaves as if set to 0.

When <implied_SPDO> is set to 0, <implied_SPDO_timeout> is ignored.

<server>

IP address or FQDN.

<authentication_method>

Authentication method. Enter one of the following:

• Preshared Key
• X509 Certificate
• Smartcard X509 Certificate
• System Store X509 Certificate

<preshared_key>

Encrypted value of the preshared key.

<match_type>

Enter the type of matching to use:

• simple: exact match
• wildcard: wildcard
• regex: regular expressions

<pattern>

Enter the pattern to use for the type of matching.

<match_type>

Enter the type of matching to use:

• simple: exact match
• wildcard: wildcard

<pattern>

Enter the pattern to use for the type of matching.

<mode>

Connection mode. Enter one of the following: [aggressive | main]

<dhgroup>

A list of possible Diffie-Hellman (DH) protocol groups, separated by semicolons.

<key_life>

Phase 2 key expiry duration, in seconds.

<localid>

Enter the peer ID configured in the FortiGate phase 1 configuration. If Accept any peer ID has been configured, leave this field blank.

<peerid>

Enter the FortiGate certificate subject name or FQDN. The peer ID must match the certificate local ID on the FortiGate for a successful IPsec VPN connection.

<nat_traversal>

Enable NAT traversal.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<mode_config>

Enable mode configuration.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<enable_local_lan>

Enable local LAN when using a full tunnel. This setting does not apply to split tunnels.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<block_outside_dns>

When this setting is 1, Windows uses only the VPN-pushed DNS server when using a full tunnel.

When this setting is 0, outside DNS server configuration is retained when the tunnel is up.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<nat_alive_freq>

NAT alive frequency.

<dpd>

Enable dead peer detection (DPD).

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<dpd_retry_count>

Number of times to send unacknowledged DPD messages before declaring peer as dead.

<dpd_retry_interval>

Duration of DPD idle periods, in seconds.

<enable_ike_fragmentation>

Support fragmented IKE packets.

<run_fcauth_system>

When this setting is 1, non-administrator users can use local machine certificates to connect IPsec VPN. When this setting is 0, non-administrator users cannot use machine certificates to connect IPsec VPN.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<xauth_timeout>

Configure the IKE extended authentication (XAuth) timeout in seconds. Default value is two minutes (120 seconds) if not configured. Enter a value between 120 and 300 seconds.

<enabled>

Enable IKE XAuth.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<prompt_username>

Request a username.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]

<username>

Encrypted or non-encrypted username on the IPsec VPN server.

<password>

Encrypted or non-encrypted password.

<attempts_allowed>

Maximum number of failed login attempts allowed.

<use_otp>

Use One Time Password (OTP).

When disabled, FortiClient does not respond to DPD during XAuth.

When enabled, FortiClient responds to DPD during XAuth, which may be necessary when two-factor authentication and DPD are both involved.

Boolean value: [0 | 1]
