Implementing Cisco Collaboration Applications (CLICA) — Question 88

Which SAML component defines the content of data transferred from an IdP to a service provider?

Answer options

• A. assertion
• B. protocol
• C. profiles
• D. binding

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, assertion, as it specifically contains the statements made by the IdP regarding a user, which are sent to the service provider. The other options do not define the content of the data; protocol refers to the methods used for communication, profiles describe how SAML is implemented, and binding specifies the transport mechanism.
