300-710 SNCF Integration Practice Question
An administrator is configuring third-party SIEM integration using eStreamer. The external client application encounters a TLS handshake failure when attempting to connect to the FMC eStreamer port. What is the standard troubleshooting step to resolve certificate validation issues between an external eStreamer client and the FMC?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Generate a new pkcs12 client certificate bundle from the FMC eStreamer configuration menu and import it into the client application store.
When setting up an external eStreamer client, the administrator must generate a PKCS#12 (.pfx or .pem) client certificate bundle and copy the corresponding CA certificate to the client host so that mutual TLS authentication succeeds.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Disable SSL/TLS verification in the FMC Platform Settings under the eStreamer daemon parameters.
Why it's wrong here
TLS verification cannot be disabled for eStreamer connections; cryptographic authentication is mandatory.
- ✗
Restart the Snort inspection engine on all managed FTD devices.
Why it's wrong here
eStreamer runs on the FMC management appliance; restarting Snort on FTD does not affect FMC eStreamer TLS handshakes.
- ✓
Generate a new pkcs12 client certificate bundle from the FMC eStreamer configuration menu and import it into the client application store.
Why this is correct
Mutual TLS requires the client to present a valid certificate generated by the FMC's internal CA during the eStreamer setup.
- ✗
Change the eStreamer listening port from 8302 to 443 in the FMC System Preferences.
Why it's wrong here
Port 8302 is the designated fixed port for eStreamer communication and cannot be changed arbitrarily.
