Vce NSE4_FGT_AD-7.6 Questions Latest

With full SSL inspection, FortiGate performs a man-in-the-middle process: it decrypts the HTTPS session, inspects it, then re-encrypts it. To do this, FortiGate presents a substitute certificate to the client, signed by the CA certificate configured in the SSL/SSH inspection profile (for example, Fortinet_CA_SSL or a custom enterprise CA).

Browsers will show certificate warning errors when the issuing CA is not trusted by the client device/browser trust store. This only happens for HTTPS because certificates are used in TLS; HTTP has no certificate exchange, so no warning appears.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A: Allowing invalid server certificates affects whether FortiGate blocks/permits connections to sites with bad certs; it does not fix the client warning about FortiGate’s substituted cert.

B: Proxy vs flow inspection mode does not inherently cause certificate warnings; the warning is about trust of the signing CA.

D: Missing extensions is not the typical reason across “any HTTPS website”; the standard reason is the client does not trust the FortiGate inspection CA

From the exhibits:

The Web Filter profile is configured with Feature set = Flow-based.

The Firewall policy is configured with Inspection mode = Proxy-based and has Web Filter enabled.

In FortiOS 7.6, security profiles that have a feature set selection (Flow-based vs Proxy-based) must match the inspection mode used by the firewall policy. If the profile’s feature set does not match the policy’s inspection mode, the profile behavior will not align with what the administrator expects (and in many cases FortiOS will prevent correct use/selection, or the feature behavior will not apply as intended).

That mismatch explains why the configured URL filter entry for (set to Monitor) is not producing the expected result, and instead the session is being evaluated by category rating and blocked (shown as Malicious Websites on the FortiGuard block page).

Why the other options are not the best fit:

A: A web rating override is not shown in the exhibits, and nothing indicates an override misconfiguration.

C: While the policy inspection mode could be changed, the root cause shown is the profile feature set mismatch (profile is Flow-based).

D: The URL filter action shown is Monitor, which would not produce a block page by itself.
