Forticlient VPN Connection

VPN Connection and Remote Access

Now that we have both the FortiClient VPN Application and the Remote Access settings, we can proceed to do the following:

All these steps are required to work remotely

Start the VPN Connection
Find the FortiClient VPN icon on the desktop or in the start menu.

Then click on SAML Login to start your VPN connection for Remote Access

You will be prompted to log in using your McLeod Law credentials; in this case, use your email address and computer password. Remember to approve your login with MFA using the Microsoft Authenticator app.

Once you login you will get a notification that the VPN connection has been established.

Now open the Remote Desktop connection shortcut we created on Phase II and “Connect” to the remote desktop as usual. Remember to verify your login using the Authenticator App.
