Configuring lockdown settings
When lockdown is enabled, all configuration on the selected FortiClient agent will be read-only at the computer. Users cannot remove the software and cannot change the settings. However, users can connect and disconnect VPN tunnels and can change certificates and CRLs.
If you want to allow the FortiClient user to modify the configuration, you can set the lockdown password and send it to the user who can then use the FortiClient override feature to unlock the configuration.
To configure lockdown settings:
1. In the FortiClient Manager, select Client/Group > Client > Managed Client in the navigation pane.
2. In the All Managed Clients list, select the FortiClient agent you want to configure from the Host Name column.
3. From the FortiClient menu, select General > Lockdown.
4. Select the Settings are inherited from group check box to inherit the settings from the group.
5. Select the Enable Lockdown check box.
6. Enter the password and click Apply Lockdown.
