CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 199

Which of the following is commonly used for federated identity management across multiple organizations?

Answer options

• A. SAML
• B. Active Directory
• C. Kerberos
• D. LDAP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is specifically designed for federated identity management, enabling secure exchanges of identity information between organizations. Active Directory, Kerberos, and LDAP serve different roles in identity management but do not inherently provide the same federated functionality as SAML.
