Splunk Core Certified Advanced Power User — Question 160

Which of the methods listed below supports multi-factor authentication?

Answer options

• A. Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML)
• B. OpenID
• C. Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)
• D. Single Sign-On (SSO)

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) supports multi-factor authentication by allowing identity providers to implement additional authentication methods during the login process. In contrast, OpenID, LDAP, and Single Sign-On (SSO) do not inherently support multi-factor authentication as part of their standard functionalities.
