Forticlient Registering To Fortigate

(2018-02-02)

Problem

My FortiClient users are getting prompted to "register" their FortiClients against the FortiGate firewall. I don't want this to happen.

Solution

On the relevant LAN interface, ensure that FortiTelemetry is not enabled. In 5.4.6 this is a checkbox for network interfaces.

On VPNs, you have to disable the fortiheartbeat disable on the VPN interface via the CLI.
