Why each option

An FSSO agent-based polling mode solution requires the deployment of both a FortiGate Single Sign-On (FSSO) Collector Agent and DC Agents.

ACollector agent and DC agentsCorrect

In an FSSO agent-based polling mode solution, DC Agents are installed on domain controllers to monitor security event logs for user login events, and they forward this information to the central Collector Agent, which then compiles and sends the user-to-IP mappings to the FortiGate.

BPolling agent only

There is no dedicated 'Polling agent' in the FSSO architecture; the Collector Agent performs polling functions by receiving information from DC Agents.

CCollector agent only

The Collector Agent cannot function alone to gather user login information from domain controllers; it requires the DC Agents to collect and forward relevant event data.

DDC agents only

DC Agents collect login information from domain controllers, but they rely on the Collector Agent to centralize, process, and ultimately send this information to the FortiGate firewall.
