With a federated identity system, where would a user perform their authentication when requesting services or application access?

  • A. Cloud provider
  • B. The application
  • C. Their home organization
  • D. Third-party authentication system
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
With a federated identity system, a user will perform authentication with their home organization, and the application will accept the authentication tokens and user information from the identity provider in order to grant access. The purpose of a federated system is to allow users to authenticate from their home organization.
Therefore, using the application or a third-party authentication system would be contrary to the purpose of a federated system because it necessitates the creation of additional accounts. The use of a cloud provider would not be relevant to the operations of a federated system.

Selected Answer: C
In a federated identity system, a user authenticates with their home organization’s Identity Provider (IdP), which then issues authentication tokens that are accepted by external services and applications within the federation. Why Not the Others? A. Cloud provider: The cloud provider may host the service, but authentication happens at the user’s home organization. B. The application: The application relies on federated authentication and does not authenticate users directly. Instead, it trusts identity assertions from the home organization. D. Third-party authentication system: While third-party IdPs exist (e.g., Okta, Azure AD), in a federated identity system, the user’s home organization is the trusted authority that verifies credentials.
