Which authentication type in QRadar encrypts the username and password and forwards the username and password to the external server for authentication?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

TACACS (Terminal Access Controller Access-Control System) authentication is a protocol used in IBM QRadar SIEM V7.5 for authenticating users by forwarding their credentials to an external server. Here's how it works:

Encryption: TACACS encrypts the entire payload of the authentication packet, including the username and password, ensuring secure transmission.

Forwarding Credentials: After encryption, the credentials are forwarded to an external TACACS server, which performs the actual authentication.

Authentication Process: The external server checks the credentials against its database and sends a response back to QRadar indicating whether the authentication is successful or not.

Reference IBM QRadar SIEM documentation explains TACACS authentication in detail, highlighting its secure encryption and external server verification process.

I have a vague memory of RADIUS being the standard for this kind of authentication, but I might be mixing it up with something else.

I recall that two-factor authentication is more about adding an extra layer, not just encrypting credentials. So I think it’s probably not that one.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like TACACS might also be related to this. It could be worth considering.

I think RADIUS authentication is the one that encrypts the username and password before sending it. I remember practicing a similar question.

I'm leaning towards RADIUS, but I want to double-check the definitions of the other options just to be sure I'm not missing something.

The key here is that the question is asking about the authentication type that encrypts the credentials and sends them to an external server. That sounds like RADIUS to me.
