Studying for Security+ | Identity & Access Management Design and Implementation
I wrapped up studying the forth of the ten sections of Mike Chapple’s course on LinkedIn Learning last night.
My job is currently centered around access control, setting up SSO — and I recently setup provisioning using a SCIM bridge so this content is coming at a good time.
By far, the most difficult part of this domain is all of the memorizations of protocols. I have screenshots included in my notes on the ports used, handshake sequences (like Kerberos and TACACS+), SAML authentication processes, and key-based authentication. It is not difficult material if you understand how it works — honestly I don’t plan on memorizing all of the steps,. If you think through the questions and know how the protocol is implemented, you will come up with the solution.
I’ll include a .docx version of these notes so you have the images I captured from the lesson. I think they will really help.
