To run the FortiClient you can just search it from the top left corner activities by writing the FortiClient and then clicking the icon.
Connecting to EMS can be done via GUI or via CLI:

Problems:
When connecting with Forticlient 7.0.3 on Ubuntu 22.04, after clicking OK on the certificate confirmation popup, the VPN immediately disconnects and gives an error:
Login failed: Insufficient credential(s). Please check the password, client certificate, etc.
This problem seems to go away after installing a newer version of Forticlient from their own website.
