CyberArk Defender – Access — Question 13

What is considered an "Identity Provider Initiated" login to an application?

Answer options

• A. After signing in to the CyberArk Identity portal, a user launches a SAML app by clicking an app tile.
• B. After visiting a third-party web app, a user is redirected to CyberArk Identity for authentication.
• C. A user visits a third party web app directly and signs in with local credentials.
• D. A user signs in to the CyberArk Identity portal and takes a screenshot of the portal to send to IT.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because it describes a scenario where after authenticating with the Identity Provider (CyberArk Identity), the user accesses a SAML application directly through the portal. The other options describe different login methods that do not involve initiating the session from the Identity Provider, such as being redirected or logging in with local credentials.
