When using SSH keys for CLI authentication for firewall administration, which method is used for authorization?

Answer options

• A. Radius
• B. Kerberos
• C. LDAP
• D. Local

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Local because SSH keys are typically authorized through the local user account on the firewall system. The other options, such as Radius, Kerberos, and LDAP, are methods used for different types of authentication and authorization but are not specifically tied to the local SSH key authentication process.
