Implementing and Configuring Cisco Identity Services Engine (SISE) — Question 7

What happens when an internal user is configured with an external identity store for authentication, but an engineer uses the Cisco ISE admin portal to select an internal identity store as the identity source?

Answer options

• A. Authentication is redirected to the internal identity source.
• B. Authentication is granted.
• C. Authentication fails.
• D. Authentication is redirected to the external identity source.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because when the configuration specifies an external identity store, selecting an internal identity source in the Cisco ISE admin portal will not align with the user's authentication method, resulting in failure. Options A and D are incorrect as they imply successful authentication through redirection, and option B incorrectly states that authentication is granted, which is not the case in this scenario.
