Free Practice Questions for Fortinet FCP_FCT_AD-7.4 Exam

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 proxyallows 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.

Observation of Compliance Profile:

The compliance profile shown in the exhibit includes rules for vulnerability severity level and running process (Calculator.exe).

Evaluating Actions for Compliance:

To make the endpoint compliant, the administrator needs to ensure that the vulnerability severity level is medium or higher is patched (D).

Additionally, the Calculator.exe application must be running on the endpoint (B).

Eliminating Incorrect Options:

Enabling the web filter profile (A) is not related to the compliance rules shown.

Integrating FortiSandbox (C) is not a requirement in the given compliance profile.

Conclusion:

The correct actions are to run the Calculator application on the endpoint (B) and patch applications with vulnerabilities rated as high or above (D).

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.

The anti-exploit detection protects vulnerable endpoints from unknown exploit attacks. FortiClient monitors the behavior of popular applications, such as web browsers (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Opera), Java/Flash plug-ins, Microsoft Office applications, and PDF readers, to detect exploits that use zero-day or unpatched vulnerabilities to infect the endpoint. Once detected, FortiClient terminates the compromised application process.

Based on theFortiClient EMS 7.2/7.4 Administration Guideand theEMS Administrator Study Guide, the integration with Active Directory (AD) provides several automated management capabilities.

1. Analysis of the True Statements:

B. FortiClient installations on domain endpoints can be deployed from FortiClient EMS:

FortiClient EMS allows administrators to createDeployment Profilesspecifically for Windows endpoints discovered via AD.

By providingAD administrator credentialswithin the deployment profile, EMS can remotely push the FortiClient MSI installer to domain-joined endpoints that do not yet have the software installed.

C. Endpoint profiles can be assigned to endpoints based on domain groups:

The core benefit of AD integration is the ability to mapEndpoint Policiesto specificAD Organizational Units (OUs)orSecurity Groups.

When an endpoint policy is assigned to an AD group, all FortiClient endpoints belonging to that group automatically receive the associated security profiles (Antivirus, Web Filter, VPN, etc.) defined within that policy.

2. Why Other Options are Incorrect/Secondary:

A. FortiClient EMS has full read-write access on the AD server:

The curriculum states explicitly that theLDAP/AD connection is read-only.

EMS cannot modify AD objects, create users, or change group memberships; it only synchronized information from the AD server to the EMS database.

D. Imported AD endpoints cannot be directly deleted on FortiClient EMS:

While technically true in a functional sense (deleting a synced endpoint will result in it being re-added during the next sync unless it is removed from the AD OU), the curriculum typically prioritizesB and Cas the primary functional "features" of the integration.

Note that the guide specifies the "Delete" action in the Endpoints pane is restricted tonon-domain devicesto prevent synchronization conflicts.

3. Summary of Integration Features:

Sync Schedule:EMS periodically syncs with AD (default every 10 minutes) to update the endpoint list.

Policy Automation:Moving a user or computer to a different group in AD will cause EMS to automatically update their security posture based on the new group's assigned policy.

Based on the CLI output from FortiGate:

The configuration shows the use of "type fortiems," indicating that FortiGate is set up to interact with FortiClient EMS.

The "server" field points to an IP address (10.0.1.200), which is typically the address of the FortiClient EMS server.

The configuration includes an SSL-enabled connection, which is a common setup for secure communication between FortiGate and FortiClient EMS.

Thus, the configuration indicates that FortiGate is set up to pull user groups from FortiClient EMS.

Based on theFortiClient EMS Administrator Study GuideregardingWeb Filtertroubleshooting and the specific log entries provided in the exhibit, the reason the user cannot access the website is due to connectivity issues with FortiGuard.

1. Analysis of the FortiClient Logs:

The Error Message:The logs show multiple [ERROR] entries stating: rating_db:97 Category query failure: failed to UrlRequestSendReceive.

Root Cause Identity:The log explicitly describes the failure: receiveResponse error: FortiGuard server down, task dropped, https bbc.com.

Resulting Action:Because the endpoint could not receive a rating from the FortiGuard servers, the Web Filter module recorded rating: -1 and applied the action WF_ACTION_BLOCK.

2. Why Option C is Correct:

FortiGuard Dependency:FortiClient’s Web Filter module relies on real-time queries to FortiGuard distribution servers to categorize URLs. If the endpoint is behind a firewall blocking FortiGuard ports (typically UDP 53 or 8888, or HTTPS 443) or has no internet path to these servers, it cannot categorize the site.

Fail-Safe Behavior:In many FortiClient configurations, if a rating cannot be obtained (Category query failure), the default security posture is to block the request to ensure no potentially malicious or unrated "Unknown" sites are accessed. The logs confirm this by showing the "FortiGuard server down" message immediately followed by the block action.

3. Why Other Options are Incorrect:

A. The URL is blocked by the web filter endpoint profile:If it were a standard profile block, the log would show a specificCategory ID(e.g., Category 52 for News and Media) being blocked by policy. Instead, it shows arating failure (-1).

B. The endpoint cannot resolve the URL FQDN:The logs show the process correctly identifies host bbc.com. If DNS had failed, the proxy wouldn't even reach the stage of attempting a FortiGuard category query for that specific URL.

D. The application firewall is blocking Google Chrome:While the log mentions /opt/google/chrome/chrome, the error is generated by the rating_db and proxy components of the Web Filter, not the Application Firewall module.

Action On Virus Discovery Warn the User If a Process Attempts to Access Infected Files Quarantine Infected Files. You can use FortiClient to view, restore, or delete the quarantined file, as well as view the virus name, submit the file to FortiGuard, and view logs.
