Special notices
Changes to compatibility with FortiManager 7.4 and 7.6
FortiEndpoint 26.1.b drops support for FortiManager 7.4.0-7.4.8 and 7.6.0-7.6.4 due to the communication protocol upgrade from HTTP/1.0 to HTTP/2. Unlike HTTP/1.x, the new HTTP/2 replies do not include a traditional "200 OK" text response and cannot be interpreted by those FortiManager versions.
Web filter profile import limitation
FortiEndpoint 26.1.b does not support importing web filter profiles from FortiOS 7.6.4 or later.
Entra ID integration support limitation
FortiEndpoint supports Entra ID integration with Azure commercial subscription only. Azure Government (e.g. GCC, GCC High, GCC DoD) is not supported.
Split tunnel
In FortiEndpoint 26.1.b, you configure application split tunnel using per-tunnel configuration, not a global configuration. If you are upgrading from an older version that uses the global application split tunnel configuration, change the configuration to per-tunnel.
SAML logins
Upon initial SAML single sign on account login, FortiEndpoint creates a standard administrator for this user in Administration > Admin Users. A standard administrator has permissions to modify endpoints, policies, and settings. Having the EMS super administrator manually assign the proper role to the newly created login is recommended.
