VPN option to enforce disclaimer acceptance

You can enforce acceptance of a disclaimer message before a remote user connects to IPsec or SSL VPN. You can use the disclaimer message to notify the end user of important points to remember when using FortiClient VPN.

This guide assumes that you have configured SSL VPN in FortiOS and it is ready to use.

To configure enforcing disclaimer acceptance:

1. In EMS, under Endpoint Profiles, select the desired profile.
2. On the VPN tab, edit an existing VPN tunnel, or create a new one.
3. On the Advanced Settings tab, enable Enforce Acceptance of Disclaimer Message. Enter a custom message in the text box.

   

4. Click Save Tunnel.

When a remote user establishes a VPN connection, the disclaimer message displays. If the user clicks Accept, the VPN connection establishes successfully. If the user clicks Disconnect, the VPN connection process terminates.

The disclaimer message displays under the following scenarios:

• When the user attempts to connect to VPN when Auto Connect and/or Always Up are enabled.
• Before the VPN connection establishes, if the endpoint restarts.
• With resilience configuration, when FortiClient connects to the primary or secondary FortiGate.
• When you have enabled Show VPN before Logon.
