CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 251

A company has purchased a new SaaS application and is in the process of configuring it to meet the company's needs. The director of security has requested that the SaaS application be integrated into the company's IAM processes. Which of the following configurations should the security administrator set up in order to complete this request?

Answer options

• A. LDAP
• B. RADIUS
• C. SAML
• D. NTLM

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is B, RADIUS, which is commonly used for remote user authentication and is suitable for integrating with IAM processes. LDAP, SAML, and NTLM are not the most appropriate options for this integration as they serve different purposes; LDAP is mainly for directory services, SAML is for single sign-on and federated identity, and NTLM is an older authentication protocol.
