Question 321

When using certificate authentication for firewall administration, which method is used for authorization?

    Correct Answer: C

    When using certificate authentication for firewall administration, the authorization method typically used is 'Local.' This approach means that while the certificates are used for authentication, the authorization and role assignments are managed locally on the firewall itself. This allows the firewall to control the administrative permissions internally rather than relying on external services like LDAP, Radius, or Kerberos for authorization.
