Which two types of remote server can be used here? (Choose two answers)
Suggested Answer: A,C Vote an answer
BIG-IP supports remote authentication by integrating with centralized authentication services through its AAA framework. The supported and commonly used remote authentication servers include:
* LDAP (A)Used to authenticate users against directory services such as Active Directory or other LDAP-compliant directories.
* RADIUS (C)Commonly used for centralized authentication, authorization, and accounting, especially in network and security environments.
Why the other options are incorrect:
* OAUTH (B) is an authorization framework, not supported as a direct administrative authentication backend for BIG-IP management access.
* SAML (D) is primarily used for single sign-on (SSO) in application authentication scenarios, not for BIG-IP administrative login authentication.
Thus, the correct remote authentication server types are LDAP and RADIUS.
