CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 189

During an application design, the development team specifics a LDAP module for single sign-on communication with the company's access control database.
This is an example of which of the following?

Answer options

• A. Application control
• B. Data in-transit
• C. Identification
• D. Authentication

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Authentication, as the LDAP module is utilized for verifying user identities during the single sign-on process. Options A (Application control) and C (Identification) do not directly relate to the process of verifying user credentials, while B (Data in-transit) pertains to the protection of data being transmitted rather than the authentication process itself.
