NSE 7 – Network Security Technologies 7.2 — Question 13

Which statement is correct regarding LDAP authentication using the regular bind type?

Answer options

• A. The regular bind type goes through four steps to successfully authenticate a user.
• B. The regular bind type cannot be used if users are authenticated using sAMAccountName.
• C. The regular bind type is the easiest bind type to configure on FortiOS.
• D. The regular bind type requires a FortiGate super_admin account.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because the regular bind process indeed involves four distinct steps to authenticate a user effectively. Options B, C, and D are incorrect; B misrepresents the compatibility of the bind type with sAMAccountName, C inaccurately states its configuration complexity, and D incorrectly asserts that a super_admin account is necessary for the regular bind type.
