CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 196

An organization completed a project to deploy SSO across all business applications last year. Recently, the finance department selected a new cloud-based accounting software vendor. Which of the following should most likely be configured during the new software deployment?

Answer options

• A. RADIUS
• B. SAML
• C. EAP
• D. OpenID

Correct answer: B

Explanation

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is specifically designed for single sign-on (SSO) across different systems, making it the most suitable option for integrating the new cloud accounting software with the existing SSO framework. The other options, such as RADIUS and EAP, are more focused on network access and authentication rather than SSO integration, while OpenID is an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol that may not be relevant in this context.
