NSE 4 – FortiGate 6.2 — Question 91

How does FortiGate verify the login credentials of a remote LDAP user?

Answer options

• A. FortiGate queries its own database for credentials.
• B. FortiGate queries the LDAP server for credentials.
• C. FortiGate sends the user-entered credentials to the LDAP server for authentication.
• D. FortiGate regenerates the algorithm based on the login credentials and compares it to the algorithm stored on the LDAP server.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because FortiGate sends the user-provided credentials directly to the LDAP server for authentication, ensuring that the credentials are verified against the server's records. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not describe the authentication process accurately, and D is incorrect because it involves a method that is not part of the LDAP authentication process.
