Question 260
At Pinecrest Hotels, the corporate firewall engineering team administers FortiGate-based protection for regional hotels and shared service centers under requirements for controlled remote connectivity and predictable recovery. The security reviewer verifies a claimed fix for: Two virtual domains on FortiGate unintentionally share policy administration privileges even though different teams must manage them separately. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An assigned operator can change only its intended VDOM policies and another VDOM remains unchanged after a denied test edit. This outcome validates the intended correction for: Two virtual domains on FortiGate unintentionally share policy administration privileges even though different teams must manage them separately. The associated approved corrective action is: Assign administrators and policies to the appropriate VDOM context with least-privilege administrative profiles. The Pinecrest Hotels reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.
Incorrect Answers
An internet service observes the approved public source address while internal flows still retain their actual client identities. This would verify a separate corrective action: Enable the approved outbound source NAT method on the correct policy and use the intended public egress address. That separate change addresses: Users on a private office VLAN have valid allow policies but cannot reach the internet because the outgoing FortiGate policy lacks required source NAT. It does not validate the current Pinecrest Hotels issue: Two virtual domains on FortiGate unintentionally share policy administration privileges even though different teams must manage them separately. The relevant acceptance evidence is: An assigned operator can change only its intended VDOM policies and another VDOM remains unchanged after a denied test edit.
Two test users behind the same translated address receive their intended different policy results without identity confusion. This would verify a separate corrective action: Avoid relying solely on IP-based FSSO for shared-address users and use an appropriate per-user authentication method for that network. That separate change addresses: Many remote users share one NAT gateway source address and FSSO attributes that IP to one user, granting mismatched policies to others. It does not validate the current Pinecrest Hotels issue: Two virtual domains on FortiGate unintentionally share policy administration privileges even though different teams must manage them separately. The relevant acceptance evidence is: An assigned operator can change only its intended VDOM policies and another VDOM remains unchanged after a denied test edit.
Outbound captures identify the intended unique translated source and sessions from other applications keep their original assigned pools. This would verify a separate corrective action: Allocate an approved nonoverlapping IP pool and bind it to the appropriate outbound policy or central source NAT rule. That separate change addresses: A customer application needs a dedicated public SNAT identity, yet its NAT pool overlaps with another service's address assignment. It does not validate the current Pinecrest Hotels issue: Two virtual domains on FortiGate unintentionally share policy administration privileges even though different teams must manage them separately. The relevant acceptance evidence is: An assigned operator can change only its intended VDOM policies and another VDOM remains unchanged after a denied test edit.
