Fortinet FCP_FCT_AD-7.4 Exam Dumps

For adding user authentication to the ZTNA access for remote or off-fabric users, the following FortiGate feature is required in addition to ZTNA:

FortiGate explicit proxy allows FortiGate to intercept web traffic for authentication purposes.

ZTNA integrates with various FortiGate features to provide secure access and ensure that users are authenticated before accessing resources.

By using an explicit proxy, FortiGate can handle web traffic and enforce authentication policies for remote users who are not directly on the corporate network (off-fabric).

Thus, the correct feature to use for this requirement is the FortiGate explicit proxy.

According to the FortiClient EMS 7.2/7.4 Administration Guide and FortiAuthenticator Study Guides, the Single Sign-On Mobility Agent (SSOMA) is a feature specifically designed to integrate with FortiAuthenticator to provide transparent, identity-based authentication.

1. Integration with FortiAuthenticator (Answer A)

The SSOMA Service: The mobility agent service is hosted on the FortiAuthenticator unit. Administrators must navigate to Fortinet SSO Methods > SSO > General on the FortiAuthenticator and toggle on Enable FortiClient SSO Mobility Agent Service.

Communication Protocol: FortiClient communicates with FortiAuthenticator via a specified TCP listening port (defaulting to 8001 or 8005) and uses a pre-shared key (secret key) for authentication.

Transparent Authentication: Once configured, the SSOMA on the endpoint automatically sends user logon information and IP address changes (such as WiFi roaming) to FortiAuthenticator. FortiAuthenticator then shares this information with FortiGate units to enforce identity-based security policies without the user needing to re-authenticate manually.

2. Modern Capabilities (Azure AD / Entra ID)

Cloud Integration: In FortiClient 7.2.1 and later, SSOMA supports native Azure AD (Entra ID). In this mode, the agent sends the Azure AD domain and tenant ID directly to FortiAuthenticator, allowing organizations to create identity-based policies for cloud-joined devices.

3. Note on FortiPAM (Option C)

Recent Updates: While recent FortiClient EMS 7.4 documentation mentions an 'Add FortiPAM agent to SSOMA' feature, this is an extension of the existing SSOMA framework. The core product that defines and runs the SSOMA service for general Single Sign-On (SSO) remains FortiAuthenticator.

4. Why Other Options are Incorrect

B . FortiSASE: While FortiSASE uses FortiClient for Secure Internet Access (SIA), it uses different mechanisms (like SAML or the SASE cloud portal) for user identity rather than the specific SSOMA agent service.

D . FortiNAC: FortiNAC uses FortiClient for persistent agent-based posture assessment and scanning, but it does not utilize the SSOMA mobility agent for user-to-IP mapping.

Block Malicious Website has nothing to do with infected files. Since Realtime Protection is OFF, it will be allowed without being scanned.

Based on the settings shown in the exhibit:

Realtime Protection: OFF

Dynamic Threat Detection: OFF

Block malicious websites: ON

Threats Detected: 75

The 'Realtime Protection' setting is crucial for preventing infected files from being downloaded and executed. Since 'Realtime Protection' is OFF, FortiClient will not actively scan files being downloaded. The setting 'Block malicious websites' is intended to prevent access to known malicious websites but does not scan files for infections.

Therefore, when a user tries to download an infected file, FortiClient will allow the file to download without scanning it due to the Realtime Protection being OFF.

According to the FortiClient EMS Administrator Study Guide and official Technical Tips from Fortinet, when the web console is inaccessible (e.g., timing out), the administrator must use tools available directly on the server's operating system (CLI) to gather diagnostic information.

1. Why the CLI Diagnostic Tool (Answer A) is the Correct Choice:

Availability during Outage: When the GUI is unreachable, the standard 'Generate Diagnostic Logs' option within the EMS interface is also unavailable.

Windows-based EMS: The administrator can manually run the EMSDiagnosticTool.exe located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Fortinet\FortiClientEMS\. This tool collects server information, Windows events, and EMS-specific logs into a compressed file for investigation.

Linux-based EMS (v7.4+): For newer versions running on Linux, the administrator can use the CLI command: sudo /opt/forticlientems/bin/diagnostic_tool -o /tmp/diag to generate a diagnostic package.

Service Verification: The CLI also allows administrators to verify if critical services (like fcems, apache2, or postgres) are running or if remote access has been disabled using the emscli utility.

2. Why Other Options are Incorrect:

B . Download webserver logs from PostgreSQL: PostgreSQL is the database engine for EMS, not the web server. While database logs are useful, they are not the primary method for gathering general 'diagnostic information' and would typically be collected as part of the CLI diagnostic tool output rather than downloaded directly from the DB.

C . Diagnostic logs option from the GUI: This option is impossible to use if the administrator has lost web access and the page is timing out.

D . Download log generator from support site: While Fortinet provides various tools on their support site, the EMS Diagnostic Tool is natively installed with the FortiClient EMS software and is the primary, documented method for troubleshooting the EMS server itself.
