Securing the Web with Cisco Web Security Appliance (SWSA) — Question 28

Which statement about configuring an identification profile for machine authentication is true?

Answer options

• A. Cloud Web Security Connector mode with an active directory enabled supports machine authentication
• B. Identification profile machine ID is supported locally, but the Cisco WSA does not support machine ID authentication
• C. Cloud Web Security with Kerberos enabled supports machine authentication
• D. If an Active Directory realm is used, identification can be performed for an authenticated user or IP address but not for a machine ID

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Cloud Web Security with Kerberos enabled does indeed support machine authentication. Option A is incorrect as it does not specifically mention Kerberos, while option B is wrong because Cisco WSA does support machine ID authentication. Option D misstates the capabilities of Active Directory realms regarding machine IDs.
