An application is hosted on a server that requires clients to authenticate using a username:password pair. This application is behind PingAccess, which is acting as a gateway. What action should the administrator take to allow PingAccess to access the application?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

When a back-end site requires HTTP Basic Authentication, PingAccess supports this via a Basic Authentication Site Authenticator. The authenticator is configured with credentials so that PingAccess can successfully authenticate to the target site.

Exact Extract:

''PingAccess can authenticate to target sites using a Site Authenticator. Use the Basic Authentication Site Authenticator when the site requires a username and password.''

Option A is incorrect --- identity mappings are used to forward user attributes, not for site-to-site authentication.

Option B is incorrect --- web sessions represent end-user sessions, not back-end credentials.

Option C is correct --- the Basic Authentication Site Authenticator should be configured on the Site.

Option D is incorrect --- mTLS authenticates with certificates, not username/password.

I don't think Mutual TLS is necessary for this situation since we're dealing with username and password authentication, but I could be wrong.

I'm a bit confused about whether we should use a Web Session or an Identity Mapping. They both seem relevant, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to configure authentication, and I think a Basic Authentication Site Authenticator could be the right choice here.

I think we might need to apply an Identity Mapping, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right approach for this scenario.
