ForgeRock AIC Practice Exam

Which configuration task is performed within ForgeRock Identity Cloud when using a 3rd party SAML2 service provider?

1. Add a new managed application

2. Enable two-factor authentication

3. Configure access policies

4. Integrate LDAP directory

The correct answer is: Add a new managed application

The correct choice is adding a new managed application. When integrating a third-party SAML2 service provider with ForgeRock Identity Cloud, the primary configuration task involves establishing the connection between the identity platform and the external application. This is achieved by creating a new managed application entry, which captures the necessary details required for SAML2 authentication and facilitates single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. This step typically involves specifying the SAML2 endpoints, configuring assertion consumer services, and setting up attributes that will be sent to the SAML2 service provider. By managing the application in this way, ForgeRock can effectively handle authentication requests and responses, ensuring that users can seamlessly log in to the third-party service using their existing credentials. The other options, such as enabling two-factor authentication, configuring access policies, and integrating an LDAP directory, serve important roles in identity management and security but are not directly related to the specific task of connecting to a third-party SAML2 service provider. Their primary functions might enhance security or improve user experience, but for the integration itself, the focus is on managing the application.
