CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 396

An organization's employees currently use three different sets of credentials to access multiple internal resources. Management wants to make this process less complex. Which of the following would be the BEST option to meet this goal?

Answer options

• A. Transitive trust
• B. Single sign-on
• C. Federation
• D. Secure token

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best option is Single sign-on, as it allows users to access multiple resources with a single set of credentials, streamlining the login process. Transitive trust and federation involve more complex relationships between systems and are not solely focused on simplifying user credentials. Secure tokens are a part of authentication but do not directly address the issue of credential management across multiple resources.
