300-710 SNCF Integration Practice Question
You are configuring identity-based access control rules on Cisco Secure Firewall Threat Defense using user groups imported from Cisco ISE via pxGrid. Users report that they are not matching the identity rule, although their IP address is correctly mapped to their username in the FMC Active Sessions table. What is the root cause?
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
✓
The Realm configuration on the FMC has failed to synchronize user group DNs from the Active Directory source.
If user-to-IP mapping exists in the Active Sessions table but identity rules fail, it is often because the Realm configuration on the FMC has not successfully synchronized user group memberships from the Active Directory domain controller integrated behind ISE, or the group distinguished names do not match.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) cloud connection is offline.
Why it's wrong here
AMP is used for file analysis and threat intelligence, not for local user group identity policy evaluation.
- ✗
SNMP traps are disabled on the Cisco ISE policy service node.
Why it's wrong here
SNMP has no impact on identity rule evaluation inside the FMC access control engine.
- ✗
The eStreamer client certificate is untrusted by the FMC.
Why it's wrong here
An untrusted eStreamer certificate would break the event streaming connection entirely, unrelated to identity rule evaluation.
- ✓
The Realm configuration on the FMC has failed to synchronize user group DNs from the Active Directory source.
Why this is correct
While IP-to-user mappings come via pxGrid, user group membership hierarchies typically require an active FMC Realm integration with Active Directory for group-based policy evaluation.
