Question 310
A FortiOS 7.6 team examines: An administrator configures an identity-based rule on the wrong ingress interface and no one is challenged. Select TWO complementary choices: the most appropriate corrective action AND the specific evidence confirming success.
Explanation
Correct Answers
The reported FortiOS 7.6 condition is: An administrator configures an identity-based rule on the wrong ingress interface and no one is challenged. The targeted administrative response is: Apply supported interactive or captive-portal user authentication requirements to the intended FortiGate firewall access path. The relevant failure risk is: Unmatched authentication rules can permit access before identity validation or repeatedly prompt permitted users. Validate with: An unauthenticated test is challenged appropriately, and the approved signed-in user receives only assigned access.
For the observed situation (An administrator configures an identity-based rule on the wrong ingress interface and no one is challenged), the most specific acceptance evidence is: An unauthenticated test is challenged appropriately, and the approved signed-in user receives only assigned access. It validates the recommended response: Apply supported interactive or captive-portal user authentication requirements to the intended FortiGate firewall access path. This addresses the documented risk: Unmatched authentication rules can permit access before identity validation or repeatedly prompt permitted users.
Incorrect Answers
Service and schedule restrictions (2.1) would demonstrate or implement: An overly permissive service group or incorrect schedule window may grant continuous access to time-limited operations. This case instead tests Interactive user authentication policy design; the choice measures or changes another part of the system.
Fsso collector agent mapping (2.4) would demonstrate or implement: A test logon appears with the expected user and client IP, and the corresponding policy match is confirmed. The required paired action and test concerns Interactive user authentication policy design; a passing result for this alternative could leave that requirement unresolved.
IP pool source nat address selection (2.2) addresses another technical failure: An exhausted or misassigned translation pool can prevent sessions or violate source-IP allowlisting at a partner. The paired-answer requirement concerns Interactive user authentication policy design; this alternative does not provide the matching intervention and separate acceptance evidence.
