What best describes the role of an FSSO domain controller agent?

The role of an FSSO (Fortinet Single Sign-On) domain controller agent is best described as collecting user logon data from domain controllers. This agent is specifically designed to monitor user authentication events and gather information about user logon activities within the domain environment.

By collecting this logon data, the FSSO domain controller agent enables the Fortinet security solution to identify active users and associate them with their respective network activities. This information is crucial for implementing user-based policies and enhancing visibility into user behavior on the network, which can help in applying appropriate security measures and controls.

In contrast, performing user authentication directly relates to different components in the network, such as authentication servers or directory services. Managing security policies across the network involves broader tasks that extend beyond the functions of the FSSO domain controller agent. Lastly, while communication with the collector agent is important, focusing on achieving error-free communication does not capture the primary function of data collection that the FSSO domain controller agent provides.
