Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 109

To use Active Directory to authenticate administrators, which server profile is required in the authentication profile?

Answer options

• A. domain controller
• B. TACACS+
• C. LDAP
• D. RADIUS

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, LDAP, as it is the protocol used to access and maintain directory information services, including Active Directory. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because a domain controller is a server that runs Active Directory services, TACACS+ is a separate authentication protocol, and RADIUS is used for network access authentication, not specifically for Active Directory.
