Autoconnect on login as an Azure AD user 7.0.7

You can configure FortiClient to automatically connect to a specified VPN tunnel immediately using Azure Active Directory (AD) credentials after it installs and receives its configuration from EMS. Whenever the user logs in to Windows using their Azure AD credentials, FortiClient silently and automatically connects to the specified VPN tunnel without the user needing to reenter their credentials or open the FortiClient console.

This feature requires FortiOS 7.2.1 or later.

To enable this feature, the following configuration steps are required:

1. Create and configure application registration in Azure.
2. Configure FortiOS with the auth-url setting within the SAML server entry configuration.
3. Configure the corresponding Remote Access profile in EMS using XML configuration to support Azure autologin and autoconnect on install.

For details on this configuration, see Autoconnect on logging in as an Azure AD user.
