Practice question 182 of 440 · medium

A user idle timeout expires, yet the directory password remains valid. Why might a new protected session still require authentication?

Choose the single best answer.

  1. A.The directory password automatically became an administrator password
  2. B.Expiry deleted the user from Active Directory
  3. C.Idle timeout disables the WAN route
  4. D.The FortiGate authentication record and directory credentials are separate
Show the answer and explanation

✓ Correct answer

  • The FortiGate authentication record and directory credentials are separate

Valid credentials can remain usable even when the firewall authentication record expires. Record expiry does not inherently delete directory users, change credentials or remove routes.
