Question 370
At Riverton Utilities, the operational network security team administers FortiGate-based protection for distributed field operations and private monitoring systems under requirements for limited administrative access and auditable controls. Following the approved change, the team must validate: Users can log in to Windows but FortiGate FSSO policies still deny them because the collector does not retrieve their allowed Active Directory groups. Which observed outcome BEST demonstrates that the intended correction works?
Explanation
Correct Answer
An approved user's identity entry includes the required group and reaches only the destination permitted to that group. This outcome validates the intended correction for: Users can log in to Windows but FortiGate FSSO policies still deny them because the collector does not retrieve their allowed Active Directory groups. The associated approved corrective action is: Configure the supported collector group retrieval and the firewall's FSSO user group mapping for those authorized directory groups. The Riverton Utilities reviewer can therefore distinguish observable protection from an untested configuration claim.
Incorrect Answers
A permitted test session creates a searchable traffic record containing its source, destination, action and policy ID. This would verify a separate corrective action: Enable the required traffic log mode on the specific firewall policy and verify the remote logging destination. That separate change addresses: Operations cannot audit who passed through a newly created FortiGate rule because the policy's traffic logging setting was disabled. It does not validate the current Riverton Utilities issue: Users can log in to Windows but FortiGate FSSO policies still deny them because the collector does not retrieve their allowed Active Directory groups. The relevant acceptance evidence is: An approved user's identity entry includes the required group and reaches only the destination permitted to that group.
Controlled requests from each department show the correct distinct approved public source address in external records. This would verify a separate corrective action: Assign the intended source NAT IP pools to the relevant policies or supported central NAT mappings by department. That separate change addresses: Several departments must egress through different public addresses for attribution but all FortiGate policies use the WAN interface address. It does not validate the current Riverton Utilities issue: Users can log in to Windows but FortiGate FSSO policies still deny them because the collector does not retrieve their allowed Active Directory groups. The relevant acceptance evidence is: An approved user's identity entry includes the required group and reaches only the destination permitted to that group.
A controlled trace identifies both the actual private client address and its assigned translated public address without conflating them. This would verify a separate corrective action: Correlate FortiGate session and traffic log original and translated address fields for the matched SNAT rule. That separate change addresses: The help desk interprets a NAT session's translated source field as the real endpoint identity and records the wrong affected client. It does not validate the current Riverton Utilities issue: Users can log in to Windows but FortiGate FSSO policies still deny them because the collector does not retrieve their allowed Active Directory groups. The relevant acceptance evidence is: An approved user's identity entry includes the required group and reaches only the destination permitted to that group.
