[All NSE8_812 Questions]

A FortiGate is configured to perform outbound firewall authentication with Azure AD as a SAML IdP.

What are two valid interactions that occur when the client attempts to access the internet? (Choose two.)

AFortiGate SP sends a SAML request to the IdP.

BThe Microsoft SAML IdP sends the SAML response to the FortiGate SP.

CThe client browser forwards the SAML response received from Microsoft SAML IdP to the FortiGate SP.

DFortiGate SP redirects the client browser to the local captive portal and then redirects to the Microsoft SAML IdP.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, C

a) Systems running on Azure will need to go through the main data center to access the services on Oracle Cloud. This is because the Oracle Cloud is not directly connected to the Azure Cloud. The traffic will need to go through the main data center in order to reach the Oracle Cloud.

c) Branch FortiGate devices must be configured as VPN clients for the branches' internal network to be able to access Oracle services without using public IPs. This is because the Oracle Cloud does not allow direct connections from the internet. The traffic will need to go through the FortiGate devices in order to reach the Oracle Cloud.

The other options are not correct.

b) Use FortiGate VM for IPSEC over ExpressRoute, as traffic is not encrypted by Azure. This is not necessary. Azure does encrypt traffic over ExpressRoute.

d) Two ExpressRoute services to the main data center are required to implement SD-WAN between a FortiGate VM in Azure and a FortiGate device at the data center edge. This is not necessary. A single ExpressRoute service can be used to implement SD-WAN between a FortiGate VM in Azure and a FortiGate device at the data center edge.

Wait, does the client really forward the SAML response? Sounds weird.

I’m not completely confident, but I wonder if option D could be valid since there might be a redirect involved in the process.

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like option B is correct too, since the IdP must send a response back to the FortiGate after authentication.

I'm a bit unsure, but I remember something about the client needing to send the SAML response back to the FortiGate. Maybe option C?

I think option A is definitely one of the interactions since the FortiGate needs to initiate the SAML request to the IdP.

Hmm, the last option about the FortiGate redirecting the client to the captive portal and then to the IdP has me a bit confused. I'm not sure if that's considered a valid interaction or not. I'll have to think that one through more carefully.

I agree, the SAML request and response are likely the two valid interactions. The client browser will probably be involved in forwarding the SAML response as well. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one.

Okay, let's think this through step-by-step. The client is trying to access the internet, and the FortiGate is configured for SAML authentication with Azure AD. So the key interactions should involve the SAML request and response between the FortiGate and the IdP.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key interactions correctly before answering.

The key is to focus on the SAML authentication flow between the FortiGate and the Azure AD IdP. The client browser will be involved in passing the SAML response, but the core interactions are between the FortiGate and the IdP. I think options A, B, and C are the way to go here.

Alright, I've got a strategy. I'll focus on the auto-forwarding rule and the user's permissions to determine which profile will be used.

A and B, no doubt. Although I do wonder if the FortiGate has a good taste in music while it's waiting for the SAML response...

A and B sound right to me. Although option D does mention a captive portal, that's not part of the SAML flow itself.

This is a tricky one, but I'd go with A and B. The client browser doesn't directly interact with the IdP, that's the FortiGate's job.

Definitely A and B. The FortiGate is the service provider, so it sends the SAML request, and the Azure AD IdP responds with the SAML response.
