This option is visible only if the FortiClient agent belongs to a group.

The FortiClient agent’s configuration includes settings inherited from the group. Selecting override allows you to modify the inherited system settings on this FortiClient agent. Deselecting override means that you want to use the system settings inherited from the group to which the agent belongs.

See “Adding a FortiClient agent group” and “Configuring settings for client groups”.

If selected, the FortiClient program will automatically run when the FortiClient agent starts up.

If selected, the FortiClient agent will send alert information to the FortiManager unit.

Select the features to be activated in FortiClient.

When selected, the features will appear in FortiClient and the feature's services will affect the system.

When clear, the features will be removed from FortiClient and the feature's services will be completely inactive. When deactivated, the features should still be configurable from FortiClient Manager although the configuration will not have any affect on the device.

If the feature was not installed by the MSI, then it is not possible to activate the feature.

Select the proxy type and enter the IP address and port number for the proxy server.

Enter the user name and password for the proxy server.

Enter the number of ports the server can bind to. It should bind to as many ports as it needs starting at the highest port number specified here.

If you have other server service that requires a specific port be left open, you should set the highest port number for FortiProxy to be less than that port number.

Select to disable the FTP proxy. FortiProxy tests network connectivity by sending packets to a designated IP address.

Select to disable self test and enter the IP address used to test the network availability.

Some email clients may expect response packets from the smtp/pop3 server quickly after the packet was sent.

Because FortiProxy may cache the outgoing packets, and incoming server response until all the packets are scanned for malware/spam, the client application may throw a “response timeout” error. When client comforting is enabled, FortiProxy will "drip" packets to the client at a rate that is fast enough to stop the client from erroring, but slow enough to stop the entire response being sent to the client before the response from the server is fully scanned. Select the check boxes to disable these features.
