FortiClient 6.0 (Legacy) Customer Insights

1. Otherwise it's a good app.Please add SHA256 support:: Hi Team, I had been using this app to connect customer network having Fortinet/Fortigate VPN setup.. Previously this app was working fine but recently my customer has updated Authentication to SHA256, which this app doesn't support yet... Hence it stopped connecting and i am stuck with laptop client only... Therefore, i am going to request you guys to please add support for SHA256 and higher in FortiClient Android app for its seamless functioning...Very bad.. it needs permission for photos, controlling your calls, recording, camera, etc.. Also they ask to monitor traffic..This app doesn't autostart with my Samsung Galaxy S7 smartphone or ASUS Zenpad 3S 10 tablet anymore.

2. Cannot turn off the nag screen to give the app permissions I do not want to give it...Galaxy S10 app locks up when connecting freezes and quits responding force stop required to kill it, from fw logs it isn't even trying to connect at all, thanks Fortinet for another garbage appEasy to use & secured.

3. Otherwise, this works fine, able to connect to network with no issue.Tired of it prompting me to allow it to access photos and camera.

4. The autostart option is enabled in settings of both FortiNet and my tablet.Don't understand why it keeps insisting to need access to camera, photos, etc.

5. For some reason it doesn't show in the app overview page, so you need to click on the icon.

6. User needs to manually change the app settings.

7. Otherwise it's been great.can run on Chrome OS, it always launch into an empty window.

8. Old but works on new devices just fine.

9. Also, wish it could be activated from the notification shade like you can with more up to date VPN clients.

10. No way to import like on Windows, so you have to input everything manually.

11. Please allow this prompt to be disabled.
