Discuss Proofpoint TPAD01 Exam Topic 14 Question 1

What is the correct SAML Sign-in URL shown in the screenshot?

Ahttps://login.microsoftonline.com/common/saml2

Bhttps://login.microsoftonline.com/5301fc22-de2d-3e32-8e25-37a292782d2c/saml2

Chttps://sts.windows.net/5301fc22-de2d-3e32-8e25-37a292782d2c/

Dhttps://login.proofpoint.com/saml2

Suggested Answer: B

The correct answer is B. https://login.microsoftonline.com/5301fc22-de2d-3e32-8e25-37a292782d2c/saml2.

This answer is taken directly from the screenshot you provided earlier in the question set. The item is testing accurate recognition of the exact SAML Sign-in URL displayed in the configuration screen rather than a general understanding of SAML theory. Among the options, B matches the tenant-specific Microsoft Entra / Azure AD SAML endpoint shown in the image.

This makes sense in the User Management and SSO context of the Threat Protection Administrator course. Proofpoint SAML integrations commonly use identity-provider values supplied by the IdP, and those values are often tenant-specific rather than generic. That is why the /common/ endpoint or other alternate Microsoft federation URLs are not the correct answer here. The question is asking for the exact configured sign-in URL shown in the screenshot, and the tenant-specific /saml2 path is the one displayed.

Because this is a screenshot-identification item tied to the configuration example you supplied, the verified course-aligned answer remains B.

Zoila 6 months ago

I feel like option A is too generic, but I can't remember if the specific tenant ID is necessary for SAML sign-ins.

Lore 6 months ago

I’m a bit confused because I thought the correct format for SAML URLs was always the same, but I can't recall if it includes "saml2" at the end.

Lenna 6 months ago

I remember practicing a similar question where the URL had to match a specific tenant ID. I feel like option B could be the right one.

Selene 6 months ago

I think the SAML Sign-in URL usually starts with "https://login.microsoftonline.com", but I'm not sure if it's the common one or the one with the specific ID.
