I recently reconfigured my Fortigate to offer IKEv2 IPSec VPN instead of SSL. Fortinet is discontinuing support for SSL VPN and other features on models with 2GB RAM. This includes the 40 and 60 series Fortigates; IPSec will still work. I had done this sort of configuration before, its documented in many places, I won’t repeat it here.

As you may have heard, Microsoft in their infinite wisdom has decided to retire “Office 365 Connectors” for Teams. At first this sounds innocuous until you realize this also includes the incoming webhook connector which allows webhooks to trigger Teams messages.

I started to run into the same issue I had in a previous post where I talked about the roamIdentity FSLogix issue. There is a HUGE warning on the Microsoft site that you cannot roam WAM tokens when you are using Intune so turning that on was not an option. The AAD…
