Please note that this version of VPN should only be used for connecting to servers such as tamba. For access to library databases and online journals, do not use VPN, but use the library instructions for EZProxy instead.

These instructions are for Mac OS 10.14 and higher. To check what version of Mac OS you have, click on the Apple menu in the upper left hand corner and select About This Mac.

NOTE: If you installed Forticlient before and currently have an earlier version that is no longer working on your computer, find the Forticlient folder on your computer. In that folder will be an Uninstaller. Run the uninstaller and restart your computer. You should then be able to install the latest version of Forticlient.

1.)  Please download the Mac FortiClient for VPN to your computer. Select the Forticlient VPN only option from the list of available products (not the whole suite of Forticlient applications).

2.) Follow the instructions for the installation. Once the installation is successful, you may close the window.

3.) Launch the FortiClient.app from the Applications menu.

  • VPN Type: SSL VPN tab selected
  • Connection Name: Trinity VPN (or a name of your choosing)
  • Remote Gateway: waldo.trincoll.edu 
    • Check the Enable Single Sign On (SSO) for VPN Tunnel box

6.) Click Save.

7.) Click SAML Login. A new window will open prompting you for your Trinity [email protected] and your Trinity password. Once authenticated, this window will disappear and you will be connected.

8.) To disconnect, click Disconnect.
