I'm experiencing the exact same problem/error message? I then tried to change the Internet Explorer settings and disabled the TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2. But that did not solve the problem. Any further suggestions?

@bitbauer did you use the latest forticlient? (6.2.x)

Yes, I'm using version 6.2.2.087. I also tried to reinstall the FortiClient without luck. I had installed another VPN client(ShrewSoft VPN Client), but uninstalled it and then reinstalled the FortiClient. Also no change. Perhaps that installation left something behind on my Windows 10 workstation? I should also mention that I have internet access via TV cable, which assigns a IPv6 address to my router. Perhaps that causes a problem, too?

Tried it on a different computer, same result :-(

Here is what was logged:

My colleague is able to connect with his user account on another computer though...

UPDATE: Found a solution...just installed an older Version of the FortiClient (6.0.2.0128) and connection could be successfully established!

I had the same issue but none of these solutions fixed it.For starters, some of our users have had this issue recently. Usually, a typical restart solves it. After restarting a few times and trying some things I created a remote session to work through SolarWinds and found out that my active directory credentials were expired. So just to reiterate, this issue will happen if your active directory credentials are expired.

who are you exactly asking and why? do you have the same problem or ...?

if you have what did you already try? which FortiOS verion and which FortiClient version. as you can seen it can be caused by many things.

as for enabling SSLv3 please dont, that really shouldnt be needed or done.

noure i assume you are not managing the FortiGate? if so i would advise you to contact your sys admin first, they might be able to see in the logs what goes wrong.
