Forticlient VPN from mac CLI [closed]

Question

I'd like to make a script to connect to different SSL VPN's from macOS. I cannot find any info as to how to connect VPN's via command line? Can anyone please help me with this?

Answer 1

There is actually a way. First, install openfortivpn via brew:

brew install openfortivpn

Then, connect as such:

sudo openfortivpn <server_ip>:<server_port> -u <username> -p <password>

Works for me. I had to add a configuration file since the password can't be visible. The syntax is: $ sudo openfortivpn -c configuration_file – Erving

For me, it seems to connect successfully on command line, but the network itself is not usable (from a browser). The Forticlient Console also does not update it as connected (In Windows OS it connects fine) – Actuary

Answer 2

After some research I have come to conclusion there is no FortiClient CLI for MAC OS. In other words there is no commands for FortiClient in terminal. Still you can use terminal for Backup/Restore/Export for FortiClient VPN configuration. You can use this link for reference: FortiClient XML Reference Guide
