To configure XAuth
In the Advanced Settings window, do the following:
1 Select the Config button for eXtended Authentication.
2 In the Extended Authentication window, select the maximum number of attempts the
the user can make to enter the correct user name and password.
Automatic XAUTH login is not available for the FortiClient VPN application.

Configuring certificates is optional. Many VPN configurations do not use certificates.
If the computer you use to run the FortiClient VPN editor also has the FortiClient
application installed on it, FortiClient certificates are available in the FortiClient VPN editor.
You can also import certificates.
The FortiClient VPN Editor configures certificates in exactly the same way as the
FortiClient application. Only the page names differ.

Refer to the "Managing digital certificates" section in the VPN chapter of the
Endpoint Security User Guide
When you have finished creating configurations in the FortiClient VPN Editor, you can
easily export them to a FortiClient VPN installer. If you configured any certificates, these
are also exported.
To export the tunnel configurations
1 On the Tunnels page, select the Export check box for each tunnel configuration that
you want to export.
2 Select the Export button.
The Save As window opens.
3 In the Save as type list, select Installer Package File (*.msi).
4 Locate the FortiClient VPN installer file to update with VPN tunnel configurations.
5 Select Save.
You can also save configurations to a VPN policy file (.vpl) or policy package (.vpz) for
distribution to FortiClient Endpoint Security users. The policy package is the preferred
format because the file is password protected and it includes any certificates that the
tunnel requires.
