Implementing Cisco Collaboration Cloud and Edge Infrastructure (CLCEI) — Question 128

A Webex administrator is configuring the Webex Control Hub to enable enterprise users to sign into Webex securely by authenticating to the IdP of the organization. To conform to the SAML specification, to what can the NameID format be set?

Answer options

• A. urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:unspecified
• B. urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
• C. urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient
• D. urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because 'urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:unspecified' is a valid NameID format specified in SAML 2.0 that allows flexibility in the identification of users. Options B and D are incorrect as they refer to the email address format from SAML 1.1, which is not suitable for SAML 2.0 configurations, and option C, while valid, specifies a transient format that may not suit all scenarios.
