With a federated identity system, where would a user perform their authentication when requesting services or application access?
With a federated identity system, a user will perform authentication with their home organization. This system enables users to authenticate through their primary organization's identity provider, which then passes authentication tokens and user information to the application or service they are trying to access. This ensures seamless access without the need to create new accounts or logins for the external services.
C. Their home organization
In a federated identity system, a user authenticates with their home organization’s Identity Provider (IdP), which then issues authentication tokens that are accepted by external services and applications within the federation. Why Not the Others? A. Cloud provider: The cloud provider may host the service, but authentication happens at the user’s home organization. B. The application: The application relies on federated authentication and does not authenticate users directly. Instead, it trusts identity assertions from the home organization. D. Third-party authentication system: While third-party IdPs exist (e.g., Okta, Azure AD), in a federated identity system, the user’s home organization is the trusted authority that verifies credentials.
