Isn't SAML more for cloud? This is confusing.

Wait, can you really use both Azure and local AD together?

I believe the correct answer involves setting the Identity Source to Active Directory, but I can't remember the specifics about the permit list or the proxy section.

I'm a bit confused about whether to use 'local' or '[cloud]' for the proxy configuration. I feel like both options were mentioned in our study materials.

I think we practiced a question similar to this, and I recall that using the '[sso]' section was important for the authentication proxy.

I remember something about configuring the Identity Source, but I'm not sure if it should be SAML or Active Directory for this setup.

This seems straightforward enough. I'd go with option D and configure Active Directory as the identity source, along with the '[sso]' authentication proxy.

I'm a bit unsure about the difference between the 'local' and '[cloud]' proxy options. I'll need to review the Duo documentation to make sure I select the right one.

I've done some Duo implementations before, so I think I've got a good handle on this. I'd go with option B - configure SAML and the cloud authentication proxy.

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to carefully read through the requirements and options to make sure I understand what's needed for the Duo configuration.
