Which two SAML roles can Fortiauthenticator be configured as? (Choose two)

AIdendity provider

BPrincipal

CAssertion server

DService provider

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

FortiAuthenticator can be configured as a SAML identity provider (IdP) or a SAML service provider (SP). As an IdP, FortiAuthenticator authenticates users and issues SAML assertions to SPs. As an SP, FortiAuthenticator receives SAML assertions from IdPs and grants access to users based on the attributes in the assertions. Principal and assertion server are not valid SAML roles.

I think Principal is not one of the roles for Fortiauthenticator.

I'm going with A and D. Fortiauthenticator is the dynamic duo of SAML roles - the Identity Provider and the Service Provider. It's like Batman and Robin, but for authentication.

A and D, no doubt. Fortiauthenticator is the sidekick, not the main hero. It provides the authentication support, not the main assertion.

Definitely A and D. Fortiauthenticator is a Fortress of Authentication, not a Principal or Assertion Server. (I've been watching too many superhero movies)

I think Fortiauthenticator can be configured as both an Identity Provider and a Service Provider. Those are the two SAML roles that seem most relevant here.
