If the process was successful you’ll find the FortiClient app shortcut on your Desktop and in the right bottom corner of the taskbar where are the hidden icons – click on the Wedge symbol (^).

Before you can connect you have to configure the Wayfare VPN connection.

Open FortiClient – click Remote Access – click Configure VPN

Complete the SSL-VPN connection information:

Connection Name –Wayfare AB

Remote Gateway – 5.2.199.213 (Telekom – secondary IPS Remote Gateway: 109.100.235.145)

Customize port – 10443 (tick to amend the port)

Authentication – “Prompt on login” and tick “Do not Warn invalid Server Certificate” àclick Apply and Close.

On the main window enter your Wayfare.ro Domaine username and credentials

If you need to make changes to the configured VPN connection, see the pictures

Open RDC from your computer by pressing Win Key and type “Remote Desktop Connection” or Win Key + R to open Run “mstsc” ( both ways will open RDC )

Configure your Remote Desktop Connection (Remote Desktop Protocol *.rdp file) by pressing – “Show Options”

On the General tab – in the Computer field – complete with “Full Computer name” eg. “WF100.wayfare.local”

You can find your “Full Computer name” in Windows explorer – This PC – right click – Properties – “Full Computer name”.

In the User name field – complete with your domain username “wayfare\username” eg.“wayfare\WFSysAdmin”

If you’re using a personal home computer and you’re the only user who uses it you can tick “Allow me to save credentials”, this way you’ll be logged in automatically next time you click connect on the configured rdp file.

!Atention! – “Allow me to save credentials” option is not secure if you use a shared computer or you transfer the *.rdp file eg. “WFComputername.rdp” to another computer which can be accessed by multiple users.

I don’t recommend using this option, as it is better to enter your credentials each time for safety reasons.

Save As… the *.rdp configuration file on your desktop with your “WFcomputername.rdp” eg. “WF100.rdp”

You can upload your *.rdp file into One Drive or send it on your email for quick transfer and access from other Wayfare devices but be careful not to save credentials by ticking “Allow me to save credentials” on the shared connection file.

Double click on “WFcomputername.rdp” shortcut from your desktop (or where you saved it.)

On the Remote Desktop Connection window click – “Connect” – check your domain username (or choose “More Choices” to enter your username “wayfare\username”) and enter your Password à click “Ok”.

There are two examples of connecting with the current username or changing the username

Congratulations, you should now be connected remotely to your workstation.

!Atention! – Don not tick “Remember me” box because this will save the credentials on that computer and so the credentials can become exposed to someone else with administrator right on that computer.

 

 

Unless you enable your RDC you won’t be able to connect remote on your workstation.

Enable RDC connections to your workstation by going to Windows Explorer – right click on “This PC” – Properties –Remote Settings – Remote tab – set your Remote Desktop settings to “Allow remote connections to this computer” and “Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication (recommended)”

If you use VPN and Remote Desktop Connection to connect and control your workstation make sure your PC is powered on, connected to the network (preferably a cable connection) and the power settings are set to Never for “Turn off hard disk”, “Sleep” and “Hibernate” (you should also setup and proceed to restart your workstation and install Windows Updates when requested not scheduled or snoozed)

I recommend, but it is not always necessary (in cases of miss-auto-configuration network settings or network settings requiring troubleshooting) to Turn ON Network Discovery for Domain network only.
