CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 5

Which of the following technologies can be used as a central repository of Linux users and groups?

Answer options

• A. LDAP
• B. MFA
• C. SSO
• D. PAM

Correct answer: A

Explanation

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is specifically designed to manage and store user information in a centralized manner, making it ideal for handling Linux users and groups. MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), SSO (Single Sign-On), and PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) serve different purposes, such as enhancing security and authentication, but do not function as centralized repositories for user management.
