What is the purpose of setting up SSO credential mapping in Citrix ADC?

Question

Options

• ATo map user credentials to LDAP attributes for authentication
• BTo configure SSL certificate settings for secure logon
• CTo configure App Tunnels for secure application access
• DTo enable Single Sign-On (SSO) for applications

• A

• C

Explanation

SSO credential mapping in Citrix ADC serves to link authenticated user credentials to the specific LDAP attributes that downstream applications need for seamless sign-on - so when a user logs in once, their identity is translated into the format each application expects, eliminating repeated logins. Option B is wrong because SSL certificate configuration is handled under SSL profiles and bindings, not SSO credential mapping. Option C is incorrect because App Tunnels are a separate feature under Citrix Gateway for routing application traffic, unrelated to credential mapping. Option D is tempting but too broad - SSO credential mapping is the mechanism that makes SSO work by handling the attribute translation, not the act of "enabling" SSO itself (which involves policies and session profiles).

Memory tip: Think of credential mapping as a translator - it takes your LDAP login and "maps" it into the language each app speaks, which is exactly what the word "mapping" implies.
