Question #: 115
Topic #: 3
Refer to the exhibit.

FortiGate is configured for firewall authentication. When attempting to access an external website, the user is not presented with a login prompt.
What is the most likely reason for this situation?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

In FortiGate firewall authentication, users are prompted for login credentials only when their initial request matches a policy requiring authentication.
In this configuration, the firewall policy permits HTTP, HTTPS, and ICMP traffic, but DNS service is missing.
Since browsers first need DNS resolution before sending HTTP/HTTPS requests, the user cannot reach the FortiGate for authentication.
Adding DNS to the Service field (Option A) enables the user to resolve hostnames and trigger the firewall authentication prompt.
