Fortinet Exam NSE5_FCT-7.0 Topic 4 Question 32 Discussion

Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE5_FCT-7.0 exam

Question #: 32
Topic #: 4

Refer to the exhibits, which show a network topology diagram of ZTNA proxy access and the ZTNA rule configuration.

An administrator runs the diagnose endpoint record list CLI command on FortiGate to check Remote-Client endpoint information, however Remote-Client is not showing up in the endpoint record list.

What is the cause of this issue?

ARemote-Client failed the client certificate authentication.

BRemote-Client provided an empty client certificate to connect to the ZTNA access proxy.

CRemote-Client has not initiated a connection to the ZTNA access proxy.

DRemote-Client provided an invalid certificate to connect to the ZTNA access proxy.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

'You can use CLI Command [...] to verify the presence of matching endpoint record [...] If any of the Information is missing or incomplete, client certificate authentication might fail because FortiClient cannot locate corresponding endpoint entry.' There is probably a typo there and it should read: 'because FortiGate cannot locate corresponding endpoint entry.' --> see Admin guide for 'endpoint record list' and CLI command in that context. https://docs.fortinet.com/document/fortigate/7.4.0/administration-guide/25915/establish-device-identity-and-trust-context-with-forticlient-ems

But wait, what if the Remote-Client provided an empty or invalid certificate? That could also explain why it's not showing up, right? I'm torn between B) and D).

A: So option C might actually be the cause of the problem.

B: That's true, it could be that they never initiated a connection at all.

A: Maybe the certificate was not the issue, perhaps Remote-Client just didn't connect at all.

Based on the options, I'm leaning towards C) Remote-Client has not initiated a connection to the ZTNA access proxy. If the client hasn't connected, it wouldn't be in the endpoint record list.

Okay, let's take a closer look. The issue seems to be that the Remote-Client is not showing up in the endpoint record list, even though the admin ran the diagnose endpoint record list command.

Hmm, this ZTNA proxy access question seems tricky. I'm not sure if I fully understand the network topology and rule configuration exhibits.
