GCP Professional Cloud Security Engineer Practice Question

Your organization plans to let employees access the Google Cloud Console with their existing on-premises Active Directory credentials that are authenticated by AD FS. A strict security policy forbids storing or synchronizing user passwords to any Google-managed system; all password verification must take place on-premises. How does adopting SAML 2.0 single sign-on (SSO) help meet these requirements?

  • A bidirectional SCIM synchronization replicates hashed passwords between Google and AD FS, eliminating the need for SAML assertions.

  • Google Cloud requires GCDS to synchronize user passwords, then sends a SAML assertion to AD FS to authorize console access.

  • Google Cloud redirects the user to AD FS; the IdP authenticates the user and returns a signed SAML assertion that Google trusts, so no passwords are stored in Google.

  • Google Cloud operates as the identity provider, generating SAML responses that AD FS validates before granting users access to corporate resources.
