CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 256

A systems administrator needs to integrate authentication with a partner so the employees of two companies can access the environment with control and management. Which of the following configuration types should the administrator execute in the authentication system?

Answer options

• A. Single sign-on
• B. Federation Services
• C. Multifactor authentication
• D. Key management

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Federation Services, as it allows for the establishment of trust relationships between different organizations, enabling shared access to resources while maintaining control. Single sign-on (A) simplifies user access but does not inherently provide the necessary inter-organizational trust. Multifactor authentication (C) enhances security but does not facilitate cross-company access. Key management (D) is unrelated to user authentication processes.
