NSE 5 – Network Security Analyst — Question 8

A client can create a secure connection to a FortiGate device using SSL VPN in web-only mode.
Which one of the following statements is correct regarding the use of web-only mode SSL VPN?

Answer options

• A. Web-only mode supports SSL version 3 only.
• B. A Fortinet-supplied plug-in is required on the web client to use web-only mode SSL VPN.
• C. Web-only mode requires the user to have a web browser that supports 64-bit cipher length.
• D. The JAVA run-time environment must be installed on the client to be able to connect to a web-only mode SSL VPN.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because web-only mode does indeed require a web browser that supports 64-bit cipher length for secure connections. Option A is incorrect as web-only mode supports newer SSL versions, not just SSL version 3. Option B is false since no Fortinet plug-in is necessary for web-only mode. Option D is also incorrect because the JAVA run-time environment is not a requirement for connecting through web-only mode SSL VPN.
