If authentication is enabled, which statement is true?

Question

Options

• AClient reports will display both the username and IP address of the clients
• BClient reports will display the IP address of the authentication server.
• CClient reports are not affected by authentication.
• DClient reports will display authenticated usernames.

• A
  4% (2)
• B
  2% (1)
• D
  94% (44)

Explanation

When authentication is enabled, the system associates network activity with verified user identities rather than just IP addresses, so client reports surface authenticated usernames (D) - giving administrators a human-readable audit trail tied to real accounts.

Why the distractors fail:

• A is wrong because authentication replaces or supersedes raw IP tracking; the report focuses on the username, not a combination of both.
• B is wrong because the authentication server's IP is infrastructure detail, not what client reports are designed to surface.
• C is wrong because authentication absolutely affects client reports - it's the whole point of enabling it, transforming anonymous IP-based logs into identity-aware records.

Memory tip: Think "auth = identity." Whenever authentication is active, anything that was previously anonymous (IP-only) gets an identity stamp. Reports follow the same logic - they show who, not just where.
