Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 38

When configuring a GlobalProtect Portal, what is the purpose of specifying an Authentication Profile?

Answer options

• A. To enable Gateway authentication to the Portal
• B. To enable Portal authentication to the Gateway
• C. To enable user authentication to the Portal
• D. To enable client machine authentication to the Portal

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the Authentication Profile is specifically used to enable user authentication to access the GlobalProtect Portal. Options A and B refer to the authentication direction between the Portal and Gateway, which is not the focus here. Option D relates to client machine authentication, which is also not applicable in this context.
