Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 133

For the firewall to use Active Directory to authenticate users, which Server Profile is required in the Authentication Profile?

Answer options

• A. TACACS+
• B. RADIUS
• C. LDAP
• D. SAML

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, LDAP, as it is specifically designed to interact with Active Directory for user authentication. TACACS+, RADIUS, and SAML do not directly integrate with Active Directory in the same way that LDAP does, making them unsuitable for this purpose.
