Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 184

When a gateway requires user information for authentication, what order does it query servers for user information?

Answer options

• A. First - Internal user database, then LDAP servers in order of priority, finally the generic external user profile.
• B. First the Internal user database, then generic external user profile, finally LDAP servers in order of priority.
• C. First the highest priority LDAP server, then the internal user database, then lower priority LDAP servers, finally the generic external profile.
• D. The external generic profile, then the internal user database, finally the LDAP servers in order of priority.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because it accurately describes the order of querying: starting with the internal user database, followed by LDAP servers based on their priority, and concluding with the external user profile. The other options either misplace the order or include incorrect sequences that do not reflect the typical authentication process.
