| Description | This article describes the technical differences between Connector Based FSSO (Legacy) and Fabric Based Dynamic Address Tags. FortiNAC supports provisioning access to endpoints using two different methods: connector-based and fabric-based. | 
| Scope | FortiNAC-F v7.2, v7,4 & FortiNAC v9.4. | 
| Solution | Connector based FSSO and the Security Fabric Based SSO cannot be used together on the same firewall. This will cause instability when sending firewall tags.
