Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 179

What two authentication methods on the Palo Alto Networks firewalls support authentication and authorization for role-based access control (RBAC)? (Choose two.)

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A, B

Explanation

SAML and TACACS+ are designed to provide both authentication and authorization functionalities, making them suitable for implementing role-based access control (RBAC). In contrast, LDAP primarily focuses on directory services and may not inherently provide the necessary authorization capabilities, while Kerberos is more focused on secure authentication rather than role-based access management.
