Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 177

The technical-support department has a requirement to access an intranet server. When configuring a User Authentication rule to achieve this, which of the following should you remember?

Answer options

• A. You can only use the rule for Telnet, FTP, SMPT, and rlogin services.
• B. The Security Gateway first checks if there is any rule that does not require authentication for this type of connection before invoking the Authentication Security Server.
• C. Once a user is first authenticated, the user will not be prompted for authentication again until logging out.
• D. You can limit the authentication attempts in the User Properties' Authentication tab.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it highlights the Security Gateway's behavior of first checking for a non-authentication rule. Options A and D are incorrect as they limit the scope of authentication services and do not pertain to the connection behavior. Option C is also wrong because it describes user session persistence rather than the rules governing authentication checks.
