Zscaler Certified Technology Associate (ZDTA) — Question 58

What happens after the Zscaler Client Connector receives a valid SAML response from the Identity Provider (IdP)?

Answer options

• A. There is no need for further actions as the SAML is valid, access is granted immediately.
• B. The Zscaler Client Connector Portal authenticates the user directly.
• C. The SAML response is sent back to the user's device for local validation.
• D. Zscaler Internet Access validates the SAML response and returns an authentication token.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because Zscaler Internet Access is responsible for validating the SAML response and generating an authentication token for access. Options A and B are incorrect as they overlook the validation process by Zscaler Internet Access. Option C is also wrong since local validation by the user's device is not part of the process.
