Connecting a user's endpoint to the FortiSASE tunnel using FortiClient and verifying Entra ID SAML SSO configuration

In FortiClient, connect to the FortiSASE tunnel using the secure Internet access (SIA) connection (selected by default) and verify the Microsoft Entra ID SAML single sign on (SSO) configuration, using these steps:

To connect a user's endpoint to the FortiSASE tunnel using FortiClient and verify Entra ID SAML SSO configuration:
  1. In FortiClient on an endpoint, go to Remote Access. The tab should display a SAML Login button.
  2. Click SAML Login.
  3. In the Entra ID prompt, sign in with your Entra ID SAML SSO credentials to connect to the FortiSASE tunnel.

Note

FortiSASE does not send the SAML SSO credentials in the onboarding email. Your administrator should have provided this information to you beforehand through other means, which may include email.

Once the SIA connection with FortiSASE has been established, then FortiSASE is now securing all your Internet traffic.
