AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02) — Question 162

A company needs a central user portal so that users can log in to third-party business applications that support Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) 2.0.

Which AWS service will meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
• B. Amazon Cognito
• C. AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On)
• D. AWS CLI

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, AWS IAM Identity Center (AWS Single Sign-On), as it provides a centralized portal for users to log in to various applications using SAML 2.0. Option A, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), is focused on managing AWS resources rather than providing a user portal. Option B, Amazon Cognito, is primarily for authenticating users in mobile and web applications but does not serve as a central portal for SAML 2.0 applications. Option D, AWS CLI, is a command-line interface for managing AWS services and does not relate to user login portals.
