"A". Federation and "C". are the correct answers. Federation facilitates access to multiple systems using a single intranet profile, and password complexity ensures that the passwords used are strong and secure. These concepts work together to safeguard intranet accounts and streamline user access across various company-owned websites.

Selected Answer: AC

Answer: A and C Federation establishes trust with a third-party that manages authentication, potentially providing a more secure solution for internal company systems. In this scenario the company is the third party that grants access to other company-owned websites. The answer is not Open authentication because Open authentication allows you to log into any other company-owned websites with your password, not intranet profile. Open authentication is less secure so a company would be less likely to use it in this fashion which also makes A and C make more sense.

I agree with NadirM_18 C and F makes sense because it only states Company owned websites, not company systems/apps.

Seems like this could be CF as this is within the same company.

The key difference between SSO and FIM is while SSO is designed to authenticate a single credential across various systems within one organization, federated identity management systems offer single access to a number of applications across various enterprises.

This one is tricky because federation and open auth are very similar. I think OAuth might be for third party applications (like signing into a game with your facebook account) and not multiple company owned platforms like the question asks

I guess what makes me thing OAuth is because OAuth supports SSO which is what I think is being hinted at here. I wish this question was worded better.

OK. I'm going to change to Federation because i just found this on Okta's site. "SAML is independent of OAuth, relying on an exchange of messages to authenticate in XML SAML format, as opposed to JWT. It is more commonly used to help enterprise users sign in to multiple applications using a single login."

Hmm. Why not F instead of A? Question says "other company-owned websites". I thought Federation applies more to independent organizations connecting together.
