Persistent connection

Persistent connection

When Use persistent connections is enabled, FortiClient creates a persistent connection with EMS. It does not tear down and renegotiate the TLS connection at every keepalive interval.

To enable persistent connections:
  1. In EMS, go to System Settings > EMS Settings.

  2. Under EMS Settings, enable Use persistent connections.

  3. Click Save.

This feature requires FortiClient 7.2.1 and EMS 7.2.1. If either FortiClient or EMS is on a version older than 7.2.1, FortiClient and EMS establish a non-persistent connection.
