In SAML deployments, which server contains user authentication credentials (username/password)?

AIdentity provider

BService provider

CUser database

DAuthentication client

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) deployments, the Identity Provider (IdP) is responsible for storing and managing user authentication credentials, such as usernames and passwords. The IdP authenticates the user and then issues a SAML assertion to the Service Provider (SP), which allows the user to access services without needing to re-enter credentials.

I'm not sure, but I think it might be C) User database because that's where user information is usually stored.
