CompTIA Security+ study material · question 311 of 611

An application creates a local account the first time the identity provider asserts a user. What is this called, and what problem does it solve?

  1. Deprovisioning; it removes accounts when employment ends
  2. Just-in-time provisioning; it avoids pre-creating dormant accounts in every application
  3. Recertification; it confirms the account is still needed
  4. Federation; it removes the need for local accounts entirely
Show the answer

Answer: B. Just-in-time provisioning; it avoids pre-creating dormant accounts in every application

Accounts appear only for users who actually arrive, so unused accounts are never created in the first place.
