Explanation

Configuring Duo SSO for Cisco Webex requires two actions on the Duo side: adding Webex as a new application (E) and uploading the XML metadata file (A) that Webex provides so Duo can establish the SAML trust relationship. These two steps together register the service provider (Webex) with the Duo Access Gateway and supply the technical SAML parameters (entity ID, ACS URL, certificates) needed for federated authentication.

Why the distractors are wrong:

  • B - Duo uses XML-based SAML metadata, not JSON; JSON is not the standard format for SAML federation metadata exchange.
  • C - Configuring application settings happens after adding the application and is done within Webex's admin portal, not initiated as a primary Duo action.
  • D - Importing Identity Provider metadata is what Webex does (importing Duo's IdP metadata into Webex), not what Duo does; the direction is reversed.

Memory tip: Think of the workflow as a two-step "introduce and describe" process - you first introduce the app to Duo (Add application = E), then describe it to Duo via the SAML XML file Webex gives you (Upload XML = A). The XML always flows from the service provider to the identity provider, so Duo receives it, not sends it.
