Explanation
Prisma Cloud Enterprise uses access keys for programmatic API authentication. An administrator generates an access key (Access Key ID + Secret Key) from the user profile settings; these credentials are then exchanged via the /login API endpoint for a JWT token used in subsequent API calls. SAML (A) and SSO (D) are interactive, browser-based authentication flows designed for human users, not API clients. Basic authentication (C) with username/password is not supported for the Prisma Cloud REST API.
