Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 210

What is a prerequisite before enabling an administrative account which relies on a local firewall user database?

Answer options

• A. Configure an authentication profile.
• B. Configure an authentication sequence.
• C. Isolate the management interface on a dedicated management VLAN.
• D. Configure an authentication policy.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because an authentication profile is necessary to define how the firewall will authenticate users against the local database. Options B, C, and D do not address the specific requirement of setting up the authentication profile before enabling the administrative account.
