Actual exam question for Fortinet's NSE7_EFW-7.0 exam
Question #: 25
Topic #: 5
[All NSE7_EFW-7.0 Questions]

Which action will FortiGate take when using the default settings for SSL certificate inspection, where the server name indication (SNI) does not match either the common name (CN) or any of the subject altemative names (SAN) in the server certificate?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

#Config firewall ssl-ssh-profile

edit

config https

set sni-server-cert-check [enable* | strict | disable]

Enable: If the SNI does NOT match the CN or SAN fields in the returned server's certificate, FG uses the CN field instead of the SNI to obtain the FQDN.

Strict: If the SNI does NOT match the CN or SAN fields in the returned server's certificate, FG closes the connection.

Disable: FG does not check the SNI.

Haha, 'Fort Awesome'? I like it. Maybe we can get a discount on the certification if we come up with the best firewall puns.

D) FortiGate closes the connection because this represents an invalid SSL/TLS configuration.

Good point. Better to be safe than sorry. I'm sticking with option D - FortiGate should just close it down if the SNI doesn't match.

True, but then you could end up with a mismatch between the SNI and what's actually in the certificate. That doesn't seem super secure to me.

Alright, alright, let's not get too serious here. I'm just hoping the exam doesn't have a question that's as confusing as this one. Maybe they'll throw in a trick question about configuring a 'Fort Awesome' firewall or something.
