Explanation

SAML (B) and LDAP (C) are the two supported methods for configuring identity authentication in Prisma Access. SAML enables federated single sign-on by allowing Prisma Access to integrate with external identity providers (IdPs) such as Okta or Azure AD, while LDAP allows direct integration with directory services like Microsoft Active Directory for user credential validation.

Why the distractors are wrong: WebAuthn (A) is a W3C/FIDO2 standard for browser-based passwordless authentication - it's not a configuration option within Prisma Access identity settings. OpenID (D), specifically OpenID Connect, is an authentication layer built on OAuth 2.0 and while common in web apps, it is not a native identity authentication method configurable within Prisma Access.

Memory tip: Think "SLiding into Prisma Access" - SAML for federated/cloud IdPs, LDAP for on-premises Active Directory. These cover the two major enterprise identity scenarios (cloud-federated vs. on-prem directory), which is exactly what Prisma Access is designed to bridge.
