IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 Deployment — Question 60

A company wants to use a different authentication option than username and password to access the company's web portal. The security deployment professional is in the process of deploying an IBM Security Access Manager 9.0.0 solution for the company to protect its web portal.
Which authentication method should the deployment professional consider?

Answer options

• A. NTLM Authentication
• B. Basic Authentication
• C. Form based Authentication
• D. Client-side certificate authentication

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Basic Authentication is suitable for this scenario as it allows users to log in using a straightforward method while still being relatively secure when implemented correctly. NTLM Authentication is less common for web scenarios, Form based Authentication often still relies on a username and password, and Client-side certificate authentication is more complex and may not be necessary for simpler web portal access.
