Set up FortiClient VPN for Android
Follow these instructions to install the FortiClient VPN application on your iOS device.
Before downloading and installing the FortiClient for VPN, please ensure that you have set up Microsoft Authenticator for multi-factor authentication. Instructions for doing so can be found at our site: https://techsquad.mu.edu/support/solutions/articles/21005087234
Step 1: Download the FortiClient App
Install the FortiClient VPN application from the Google Play Store found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fortinet.forticlient_vpn&pcampaignid=web_share
Step 2: Launch the FortiClient App
Open the FortiClient application. A privacy prompt will appear. Click "I accept."
A notifications prompt will then appear. Choose "Allow" or "Do not Allow" based upon your preference.
The application will then request you enable "Unrestricted battery usage." Click "Enable."
Step 3: Configure the VPN Connection
You will then be brought to a page for configuring the VPN. Please enter the following information in the corresponding fields:
Input the VPN Name: Marquette VPN
VPN Type: SSL VPN
Once you have entered this configuration click "Create"
A new configuration page will now appear. Please enter the following information into the corresponding fields:
Servers: vpn.mu.edu
Port: 443
Username: (your Marquette username)
Certificate: X.509 certificate in PKCS12 format
Single Sign On: Disabled
Prompt User Credentials: Enabled
After you have entered the configuration, click the back button and you will be brought to the home screen with the VPN now set up.
Step 4: Connect to the VPN
Click "Connect" and the application will then ask for your credentials. Enter your Marquette username and password, and then click "Login."
You will then receive a prompt for a connection request. You will only receive this prompt upon the initial login, and not any subsequent logins. Click "Ok."
You will then receive a prompt regarding the certificate. Click "Proceed."
Next, you will see a prompt for a Microsoft verification code.
Go to the Microsoft Authenticator application on your phone, click your profile, and enter the 6-digit code that appears under “One-time password code” into the prompt.
Once the Microsoft verification code has been entered, you will then be connected to the VPN and brought to a page showing your connection information.
Subsequent Use of FortiClient
For subsequent use of FortiClient, open the application and toggle on the option labeled “Connect.” There is no need to enter the configuration information again after the initial setup.
