4. Troubleshooting

Fortigate SSLVPN Client troubleshooting:

· When the wrong credentials are entered OR you are trying to connect to the SSL VPN from inside the AHS network, a Warning message comes up Saying “Unable to establish the VPN Connection. The VPN server may be unreachable. (-14)” The correct format for Name is <username> and Password is <pin><token code from RSA SecurID Token> -- or <8-digit Token from Soft Token>.  Your PIN (Personal Identification Number) is numeric and between 4 and 8 digits in length.  Also please note that connecting to the SSL VPN is not possible when the laptop or mobile device is already connected to the AHS network.

·

NOTE: If authentication issues persist, you can test that your Token is operational by logging into web page: https://token.albertahealthservices.ca ... upon successful logon you will see a message about successfully completing the authentication (and setting your pin if that was required). This is the only function of the page. Once you have tested the Token, please close the page.

Important: If you have tested your Token and it is functional, but FortiClient is still not connecting. Make sure your local Internet is connected then completely remove FortiClient from your computer, restart your computer, reinstall it and try to connect with FortiClient once again.
