FortiClient EMS 7.4 case: An organization publishes an EMS address through NAT without checking the client ports needed for registration and profile updates. Which first-line investigation would best distinguish the suspected cause?
Compare EMS service listeners, network ACLs, NAT mappings and observed endpoint connection attempts. This diagnostic separates the suspected fault from other FortiClient EMS problems before altering security policy. If confirmed, implement: Apply the documented, narrowly scoped EMS network services and ports for the supported connection paths. Evidence of success: A controlled FortiClient registration and policy update completes while unnecessary inbound ports remain closed.

This check would be appropriate for another issue involving administrator separation and audit readiness. For the present symptom, begin with: Compare EMS service listeners, network ACLs, NAT mappings and observed endpoint connection attempts.
