Which two user authentication methods are supported when using a Juniper Secure Connect VPN? (Choose two.)
Juniper Secure Connect VPN supports both certificate-based authentication and Active Directory-based authentication as user authentication methods. Certificate-based authentication involves using digital certificates to verify the user's identity, enhancing security through cryptographic techniques. Active Directory-based authentication allows users to use their existing directory services credentials (such as those from AD), simplifying credential management and interoperability within enterprise environments. These methods provide robust and efficient options for authenticating users securely.
"Local Authentication—In local authentication, the SRX Series device validates the user credentials by checking them in the local database. In this method, the administrator handles change of password or resetting of forgotten password. Here, it requires that an user must remember a new password. This option is not much preferred from a security standpoint. • External Authentication—In external authentication, you can allow the users to use the same user credentials they use when accessing other resources on the network. In many cases, user credentials are domain logon used for Active Directory or any other LDAP authorization system. This method simplifies user experience and improves the organization’s security posture; because you can maintain the authorization system with the regular security policy used by your organization."
