Which authentication method is NOT applicable for PSMP?

The correct choice regarding the authentication method that is not applicable for PSMP (Privileged Session Management Proxy) is LDAP. PSMP typically integrates with various methods of authentication to ensure secure access management.

RADIUS, Windows, and RSA SecurID are all viable methods for authentication in the context of PSMP because they provide robust mechanisms for managing user identities and access privileges.

• RADIUS is a widely used networking protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) for users who connect to and use a network service. This makes it suitable for PSMP, facilitating secure connections.

• Windows authentication typically refers to the Windows Integrated Authentication that allows users to log in using their Windows credentials, which can easily be configured with PSMP to streamline access with existing corporate environments.

• RSA SecurID is a two-factor authentication technology that uses a physical token to enhance security measures in environments where sensitive activities, such as those managed by PSMP, are performed.

In contrast, LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is primarily used for directory services, enabling querying and modifying of directory services running over TCP/IP. While LDAP can indeed be involved in broader identity management solutions, it is not directly applicable as a standalone authentication method for the
