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 VPN > VPN Option.

4. Select Start VPN before logging on to Windows if you need to log on to a Windows domain through a VPN when you start up your Windows workstation.

5. Select Keep IPsec service running forever unless manually stopped to retry dropped connections indefinitely. By default, the FortiClient software retries a dropped connection four times.

6. Select Beep when connection error occurs if you want the FortiClient software to sound a beep when a VPN connection drops. By default, the alarm stops after 60 seconds, even if the connection has not been restored. You can change the duration or select Continuously so that the alarm stops only when the connection is restored.

7. Select Allow remember credentials to allow eXtended Authentication VPN credentials for a tunnel to be remembered and automatically used the next time the user tries to connect to the VPN tunnel. See the FortiClient Endpoint Security Guide for more information on eXtended Authentication.
