Question #: 47
Topic #: 1

A user can successfully connect to a database server from a home office but is unable to access it from a hotel room. Which of the following authentication methods is most likely

configured?

ADelegation

BRole-based

CRule-based

DScope-based

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Scope-based authentication is a method of restricting access to resources based on the location, network, or device of the user. It can be used to prevent unauthorized access from outside the organization's network or from untrusted devices. In this case, the user can connect to the database server from the home office, which is likely within the scope of the authentication policy, but not from the hotel room, which is outside the scope.

I'm leaning towards role-based authentication. Different roles could have different access permissions.

I disagree, I think it could be scope-based. Maybe the hotel has restricted access.

I agree with Malcolm, it makes sense that the hotel network has different rules.

I think it might be a rule-based authentication method.

Nah, I don't think it's that simple. It could be a delegation-based authentication, where the user's credentials are only valid when they're on the company network. Hotels might be considered 'untrusted' in that case.

Haha, scope-based authentication, really? I was thinking more like a rule-based system, where the admin has set up specific rules for hotel network access. You know, 'thou shalt not access the database from a hotel'.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. My guess would be that it's a scope-based authentication method, where the user has access granted based on their location or network they're connecting from.

G: Agreed. The user's inability to access from the hotel room points towards a location-based restriction.

C: I think you're right. It would explain why the user can connect from home but not from a different network.

Hmm, this question seems to be testing our understanding of network authentication methods. The fact that the user can connect from home but not from a hotel suggests some kind of location-based authentication is in place.
