Single Sign-on (SSO) is characterized by which of the following advantages? A. Convenience B. Convenience and centralized administration C. Convenience and centralized data administration D. Convenience and centralized network administration
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Convenience -Using single sign-on users have to type their passwords only once when they first log in to access all the network resources; and Centralized Administration as some single sign-on systems are built around a unified server administration system. This allows a single administrator to add and delete accounts across the entire network from one user interface.
The following answers are incorrect:
Convenience -alone this is not the correct answer.
Centralized Data or Network Administration -these are thrown in to mislead the student. Neither are a benefit to SSO, as these specifically should not be allowed with just an SSO.
