Juniper Exam JN0-480 Topic 4 Question 30 Discussion

To implement remote user authentication for the role-based access control of your Apstra server, you can use one of the following methods: TACACS+, LDAP, or RADIUS. These are the protocols that Juniper Apstra supports to authenticate and authorize users based on roles assigned to individual users within an enterprise. You can configure the Apstra server to use one or more of these protocols as the authentication sources and specify the order of preference. You can also configure the Apstra server to use local user accounts as a fallback option if the remote authentication fails. The other options are incorrect because:

D) SAML is wrong because SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is not a supported protocol for remote user authentication for the role-based access control of your Apstra server. SAML is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between different parties, such as identity providers and service providers. SAML is commonly used for web-based single sign-on (SSO) scenarios, but it is not compatible with the Apstra server.

E) Auth0 is wrong because Auth0 is not a protocol, but a service that provides authentication and authorization solutions for web and mobile applications. Auth0 is a platform that supports various protocols and standards, such as OAuth, OpenID Connect, SAML, and JWT. Auth0 is not a supported service for remote user authentication for the role-based access control of your Apstra server.Reference:
