Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 169 discussion

This question is flawed; its clearly Time Based Logins. I'm starting to think that the actual CompTIA test has these wrong answers just to trick us in order for us to fail and they make money just so we can retake this exam.

This doesn't state that on Monday he came back onto the local corporate network, just that he connected successfully, now. How can it be Geofencing if he is still off premises.

The question never says anything about location. B and C are eliminated. D is just a throw away. A is the answer. A company can force working times.

Time-based logins (sometimes referred to as time-of-day restrictions) ensure that users can only log on to computers during specific times. If a user tries to log on to a system outside the restricted time, the system denies access to the user. As an example, imagine a company operates between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on a daily basis. Managers decide they don’t want regular users logging on to the network except between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. You could set time-of-day restrictions for user accounts to enforce this. If a user tries to log on outside the restricted time (such as during the weekend), the system prevents the user from logging on.

A. Time-based logins

This can never be geofencing. Read discussions for clarifications

Time-based logins involve allowing or restricting user access to certain systems or resources based on specific time periods. In this case, the user encountered issues logging in to the corporate network using a VPN over the weekend but was able to log in successfully on Monday. This suggests that there may be a policy in place that restricts VPN access during non-business hours (weekends) but allows access during regular business hours (Monday to Friday). The time-based login policy is enforced to control access to the network

TBL. The weekend gives it away, because having helped folks using a VPN, you can definitely use them on the weekend, no problem. That's a form of conditional access policy that's stopping them.

Not enough info to determine he was logging in from an alternate location on the weekend. Best answer is Time based login.

None of the options mentioned in the question seem to match the described situation. It appears that the user experienced a temporary issue with logging in to the corporate network using a VPN over the weekend, which resolved itself by Monday. The user then opened a ticket to report the issue, which was no longer present. Therefore, the policy being implemented is not clear from the given information. But I will go with A.

The user knows that his schedule was not time based that was why he attempted to login. If the question says a new user that might be a different thing.

Time-based authentication is a special procedure to prove an individual's identity and authenticity on appearance simply by detecting its presence at a scheduled time of day or within a scheduled time interval and on a distinct location. To enable time-based authentication, a special combination of objects is required.

Time based logins should be the answer because Geofencing is accepting or rejecting access requests based on location.

Time-based logins: Time-of-day restrictions is an access control concept that limits when a user account is able to log into a system or network. This is a tool and technique for limiting access to sensitive environments to normal business hours, when oversight and monitoring can be performed to prevent fraud, abuse, or intrusion. Time-of-day restrictions may also force logout on an account after the authorized time period ends.

Time based login

this has to be a time based login issue

Ok I think I figured this one out. I kept saying its Time-based logins based on the information given in the question, BUT the correct term is TOTP (Time-based One-Time Passwords). If the option was TOTP instead of Time-based logins, then it would be the answer. But CompTIA seriously makes this test trickier than it has to be
