Configuring FortiClient agent settings
You can configure managed FortiClient agents individually or in groups. All the configuration changes are stored in the FortiManager database until they are installed on the FortiClient agents.
For information on installing configuration changes on FortiClient agents, see
“Deploying FortiClient agent configurations”.
When a FortiClient agent is a member of a group, most of its configuration is inherited from the group. You can only change an inherited setting by first selecting the Override option for that part of the configuration. You can reapply the group settings by selecting Apply to All Members in the group configuration.
To configure an individual FortiClient agent:
1. In the FortiClient Manager, select Client/Group > Client > Managed Client in the navigation pane.
You can also select Client/Group > Group, then select the group to which the client belongs.
2. From the Host Name column of the list of clients, select the client you want to edit.
From the FortiClient menu, select the part of the configuration you want to edit, Firewall > Policy for example.
3. Reconfigure the client as needed and then select Apply.
To configure a group of FortiClient agents:
1. In the FortiClient Manager, in the navigation pane, select Client/Group > Group.
2. From the FortiClient Group list, select the name of the group that you want to configure.
3. From the FortiClient menu, select the part of the configuration you want to edit, Firewall > Policy for example.
4. Reconfigure the settings for the group as needed and then select Apply.
For more information about configuring groups of clients, see
“Configuring settings for client groups”.
