centosfortinetterminalvpn

How can I install and setup a fortinet SSL VPN client on a VPS that's running on Centos?
I have problem to do it because all guide I have are all using GUI which is not installed on the VPS to save resource. (example: http://dbssolutions.freshdesk.com/solution/categories/1513/folders/3047/articles/1791-how-to-install-the-linux-fortinet-ssl-vpn-client)

I already have the linux version for the vpn client but not sure how to install and configure it only using the terminal.

I spent a while trying to find documentation on this, and got this from a Fortinet Engineer.

  1. Install like any other using tar.gz file Then run below command in linux CLI
  2. Then run below command in linux CLI

./forticlientsslvpn_cli --server 172.17.97.85:10443 --vpnuser forti

Make sure the command run from the sslvpn directory. Substitute the IP address with the one of your server .
