“Update the authorized EMS FQDN and certificate trust relationship and revalidate connector status” addresses the connector's configured server identity and trusted certificate must match the reachable EMS endpoint. The current FortiClient EMS case instead involves a posture rule may retain stale state until the endpoint sends updated compliance data and the Fabric connector propagates it; use “Confirm endpoint telemetry, re-evaluate the EMS security posture rule and verify the gateway tag update” for the required correction.
