What can be used to verify user or endpoint credentials in an authentication policy?

The selection of the Identity Source Sequence as a means of verifying user or endpoint credentials in an authentication policy is accurate. The Identity Source Sequence defines the order in which various identity sources are checked during the authentication process. This can include directories like Active Directory, RADIUS servers, LDAP servers, or local databases. By configuring an Identity Source Sequence, administrators can ensure that the system attempts authentication against the most appropriate or prioritized source first, allowing for efficient and effective verification of user or endpoint credentials.

This mechanism is crucial for environments where multiple identity sources may be available, as it helps streamline and clarify the authentication process, thereby improving both security and user experience. The ability to sequence identity sources allows for flexibility in managing authentication across diverse organizational setups and can help in scenarios involving fallback options when primary sources are unavailable or encounter issues.
