A company has purchased a new SaaS application and is in the process of configuring it to meet the company’s needs. The director of security has requested that the SaaS application be integrated into the company’s IAM processes.
Which of the following configurations should the security administrator set up in order to complete this request?
A. LDAP
B. RADIUS
C. SAML
D. NTLM
Answer is C.
An IAM system is expected to be able to integrate with many different systems. Because of this, there are certain standards or technologies that all IAM systems are expected to support: Security Access Markup Language, OpenID Connect, and System for Cross-domain Identity Management.
Security Access Markup Language (SAML)
SAML is an open standard used to exchange authentication and authorization information between an identity provider system such as an IAM and a service or application. This is the most commonly used method for an IAM to provide a user with the ability to log in to an application that has been integrated with the IAM platform.
