NSE 6 – FortiAuthenticator 6.1 — Question 11

How can a SAML metadata file be used?

Answer options

• A. To define a list of trusted user names
• B. To import the required IDP configuration
• C. To correlate the IDP address to its hostname
• D. To resolve the IDP realm for authentication

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a SAML metadata file is primarily used to import the necessary configuration for the Identity Provider (IDP). The other options do not accurately describe the function of a SAML metadata file; for instance, it doesn't define user names, correlate addresses to hostnames, or resolve realms.
