ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question

Your organization is onboarding a new Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) HR platform that supports SAML 2.0 single sign-on. The plan is to use the company's on-premises Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) as the identity provider (IdP) so employees can authenticate with their existing domain credentials. Before the SaaS vendor (the service provider) will accept SAML authentication assertions from your IdP, each side must have a mechanism to verify the integrity and origin of those assertions. Which item must the two parties exchange and store to establish this federated trust?

  • A shared OAuth 2.0 client secret configured on both sides

  • The LDAP bind username and password for each user account

  • The identity provider's public X.509 certificate that is used to sign SAML assertions

  • A pre-shared symmetric encryption key for securing the SAML response
