Configuring Endpoints settings

To configure Endpoints settings:
  1. Go to System Settings > Endpoints.
  2. Configure the following options:

    FortiClient telemetry connection key

    Add the FortiClient Telemetry connection key for FortiClient EMS. FortiClient must provide this key during connection.

    Keep alive interval

    Each connected FortiClient endpoint sends a short keep-alive message to FortiClient EMS at the specified interval.

    Full keep alive interval

    Each connected FortiClient endpoint sends a full keep-alive message to FortiClient EMS at the specified interval.

    License timeout

    Each connected FortiClient endpoint consumes a license seat.

    If an endpoint disconnects from EMS, the license seat is retained in anticipation that the endpoint will reconnect. If the endpoint does not reconnect within the given timeout, its connection record is removed from EMS.

    If the endpoint is removed, switched off, or becomes offline, and does not re-establish Telemetry connection to EMS within the given timeout, the endpoint is deleted from EMS even if FortiClient on the endpoint shows that it is still connected to EMS.

    Automatically upload avatars

    When enabled, FortiClient uploads user avatars to all FortiGate units, FortiAnalyzer units, and EMS servers it is connected to.

    Allow duplicate FCT registrations

    When enabled, allows duplicate FortiClient registrations by assigning the duplicate registrations new UIDs.
