Why each option

For Novell eDirectory networks, the Fortinet Single Sign-On (FSSO) implementation requires the use of the eDirectory agent to collect user authentication information.

AAgentless polling

Agentless polling is typically used for Active Directory environments where the collector agent directly queries domain controllers via WMI or other protocols, not eDirectory.

BLDAP agent

The LDAP agent is generally used for generic LDAP directories, but for Novell eDirectory, the specific eDirectory agent is preferred and designed for full functionality.

CeDirectory agentCorrect

The eDirectory agent is a specialized FSSO component specifically designed to integrate with Novell eDirectory services to retrieve user login and logout events.

DDC agent

The DC agent (Domain Controller agent) is designed for Microsoft Active Directory domain controllers, not Novell eDirectory.
