Question 384

What is a correct statement regarding administrative authentication using external services with a local authorization method?

    Correct Answer: D

    The administrative accounts you define locally on the firewall serve as references to the accounts defined on an external authentication server. This ensures that if the external authentication server is unavailable, the local accounts can still be used for authentication purposes.

The administrative accounts you define locally on the firewall serve as references to the accounts defined on an external Multi-Factor Authentication, SAML, Kerberos, TACACS+, RADIUS, or LDAP server. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/9-1/pan-os-admin/firewall-administration/manage-firewall-administrators/administrative-authentication

D is correct; 10.2 does not seem to have changed this method. Cloud Identity Engine, for knowledge: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-1/pan-os-new-features/identity-features/cloud-identity-engine By using a cloud-based solution, you can reallocate the resources required for authentication from the firewall or Panorama to the cloud. The Cloud Authentication Service also allows you to configure the authentication source once instead of for each authentication method you use (for example, Authentication Portal or administrator authentication). https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/firewall-administration/manage-firewall-administrators/administrative-authentication

D for sure

jeremykebirOption: D

D. The administrative accounts you define locally on the firewall serve as references to the accounts defined on an external authentication server. This statement is true. When configuring external authentication on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, the local administrative accounts defined on the firewall can act as fallback references. If the external authentication server is unavailable or authentication fails, the firewall can fall back to using the locally defined administrative accounts for authentication.
