Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

LDAP Authentication Process:

The regular bind type for LDAP authentication involves multiple steps to verify user credentials.

Step 1: The client sends a bind request with the username to the LDAP server.

Step 2: The LDAP server responds to the bind request.

Step 3: The client sends a bind request with the password.

Step 4: The LDAP server responds, confirming or denying the authentication.

Explanation of Answer:

The regular bind type follows these four steps to authenticate a user, making it a comprehensive method but not necessarily the easiest to configure.

The statement regarding sAMAccountName and super_admin account requirements are not accurate in the context of regular bind type LDAP authentication on FortiOS.

I heard the regular bind type is so 'regular' that even a 'FortiGate' could do it. Guess I'll go with option C.

Four steps, really? That sounds unnecessarily complicated. I'll have to go with option A.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Doesn't the regular bind type require a super_admin account? I'll go with option D.
