Explanation
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) supports multi-factor authentication because it delegates the authentication process to an external Identity Provider (IdP) such as Okta, Azure AD, or PingFederate. The IdP can enforce MFA policies before issuing a SAML assertion to Splunk. LDAP is a directory protocol that does not natively support MFA. SSO is a concept/pattern rather than a protocol and does not inherently include MFA. OpenID is not a standard Splunk authentication method in the context of Splunk Core certification.
