FortiClient communicates directly with FortiClient EMS to continuously share device status information through ZTNA telemetry.

Based on the CLI output from FortiGate:

The configuration shows the use of "type fortiems," indicating that FortiGate is set up to interact with FortiClient EMS.

The "server" field points to an IP address (10.0.1.200), which is typically the address of the FortiClient EMS server.

The configuration includes an SSL-enabled connection, which is a common setup for secure communication between FortiGate and FortiClient EMS.

Thus, the configuration indicates that FortiGate is set up to pull user groups from FortiClient EMS.

For adding user authentication to the ZTNA access for remote or off-fabric users, the following FortiGate feature is required in addition to ZTNA:

FortiGate explicit proxyallows FortiGate to intercept web traffic for authentication purposes.

ZTNA integrates with various FortiGate features to provide secure access and ensure that users are authenticated before accessing resources.

By using an explicit proxy, FortiGate can handle web traffic and enforce authentication policies for remote users who are not directly on the corporate network (off-fabric).

Thus, the correct feature to use for this requirement is the FortiGate explicit proxy.
