Wow, this question is really testing my SSL/TLS knowledge. I'm going to have to brush up on those certificate fields before the exam.

I bet the developers at FortiGate had a good laugh coming up with these answer choices. 'ZN information?' Seriously?

Wait, is the ZN field a real thing? Sounds like something you'd find in a Sci-Fi movie, not a networking exam. I'm going to have to research that one.

I was thinking B) sounded like the most secure option, but it might cause some connectivity issues. Hmm, tricky trade-off between security and usability.

The default settings for SSL certificate inspection seem a bit strict. I hope FortiGate doesn't just close the connection, that would be inconvenient.
