CompTIA Security+ (SY0-701) — Question 3

A data administrator is configuring authentication for a SaaS application and would like to reduce the number of credentials employees need to maintain. The company prefers to use domain credentials to access new SaaS applications. Which of the following methods would allow this functionality?

Answer options

• A. SSO
• B. LEAP
• C. MFA
• D. PEAP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, SSO (Single Sign-On), which allows users to authenticate once and gain access to multiple applications without needing separate credentials for each. The other options, such as LEAP (Lightweight EAP), MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), and PEAP (Protected EAP), focus on improving security but do not specifically address the reduction of credential management as SSO does.
