A multinational corporation is implementing ZTNA for remote access to a critical internal application hosted on a server with IP 10.0.1.200:8443. The FortiGate is deployed at the edge with WAN IP 203.0.113.50. The administrator configures a ZTNA rule with proxy destination 10.0.1.200:8443, a firewall policy allowing traffic from the ZTNA gateway to the internal server, and a VIP for port forwarding for testing. However, remote users report that they can establish a ZTNA connection to the gateway but the application page fails to load, showing a blank page after a long delay. The FortiGate logs show no errors, and the debug output indicates that the proxy successfully forwarded the request to 10.0.1.200:8443 and received a response. The internal server team confirms the application is working correctly for on-site users. What is the most likely cause?

A healthcare provider is deploying ZTNA to secure access to an internal electronic health records (EHR) system. The EHR system is composed of multiple web services running on different ports behind a load balancer with IP 10.0.10.100. The load balancer listens on ports 443, 8443, and 9090. The administrator configures a single ZTNA rule with proxy destination 10.0.10.100:443, expecting that the other ports will be accessed via the same rule. However, users report that they can only access the service on port 443; connections to ports 8443 and 9090 fail. The FortiGate logs show that requests to other ports are being dropped. What should the administrator do to resolve this?

A multinational company uses FortiGate devices as VPN gateways to connect its headquarters (HQ) and branch offices via IPsec VPN tunnels. The company is migrating its remote access solution from IPsec VPN to SSL VPN using FortiClient. Currently, 500 remote users connect via IPsec VPN with pre-shared keys and XAuth authentication. The migration must be seamless with minimal downtime, and users must continue to authenticate using their existing Active Directory credentials. The SSL VPN portal must provide access to internal web applications and some legacy TCP-based applications that do not support HTTP. The security team requires that all traffic between remote users and the internal network be encrypted and that the SSL VPN use a certificate from a public CA to avoid certificate warnings on client devices.
