The Request Authority (RA) is the entity that initiates provisioning requests (e.g., requesting that an account be created or deactivated). The Provisioning Service Provider (PSP)

Question

In a SPML exchange, which of the following BEST describes the three primary roles?

Options

AThe Provisioning Service Target (PST) entity makes the provisioning request, the Provisioning Service
BThe Provisioning Service Provider (PSP) entity makes the provisioning request, the Provisioning Service
CThe Request Authority (RA) entity makes the provisioning request, the Provisioning Service Target (PST)
DThe Request Authority (RA) entity makes the provisioning request, the Provisioning Service Provider (PSP)

Explanation

SPML (Service Provisioning Markup Language) defines three primary roles in a provisioning exchange. The Request Authority (RA) is the entity that initiates provisioning requests (e.g., requesting that an account be created or deactivated). The Provisioning Service Provider (PSP) is the intermediary that receives RA requests, processes them, and coordinates provisioning actions. The Provisioning Service Target (PST) is the actual target system (e.g., LDAP directory, application) where the provisioning action is ultimately applied. Answer D correctly identifies the RA as the requestor and PSP as the processor/provider, which is the foundational relationship in SPML.
