SnowPro Core Certification — Question 580

Which identity providers are valid type values for federated authentication on the SAML_IDENTITY_PROVIDER parameter? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Identity Access Management (IAM)
• B. Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
• C. OAuth
• D. Okta
• E. PingFederate

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D because Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and Okta are recognized identity providers that support SAML-based federated authentication. Options A, C, and E are not valid for this specific parameter, as IAM is a service and not an identity provider, OAuth is a protocol rather than a provider, and while PingFederate supports SAML, it was not selected as a correct answer in this context.
