An APM access policy uses LDAP authentication, and SSO is configured to inject a header into requests to a backend application. Users report that they can authenticate, but the application does not recognize the SSO session. The APM log shows no errors. What should you check?

The header injection is configured on the correct virtual server or access profile

The backend application's SSL certificate

A user is able to authenticate to APM, but when they access a web application, the application shows a generic error. You capture an HTTP request from the browser and see the following header: 'Authorization: Basic dXNlcjpwYXNz'. What does this indicate?

APM is injecting a custom header for SSO

The user's browser is using a cached session cookie

The application is using SAML authentication

The browser is sending credentials in plaintext (Base64) to the application

An APM access policy uses RADIUS authentication. Users report that authentication is slow, and the APM log shows 'RADIUS timeout' errors. The RADIUS server is not overloaded, and network latency is normal. What should you check?

The APM RADIUS server configuration's timeout and retry settings

The RADIUS server's shared secret

The APM access policy's authentication method

An APM access policy uses RADIUS authentication. Users report that authentication fails, and the APM log shows 'RADIUS Access-Reject'. The RADIUS server logs show that the Access-Request was received, but the user was rejected. What is the most likely cause?

The RADIUS shared secret is incorrect

The APM access policy is misconfigured

The RADIUS server is unreachable

The user's credentials are incorrect
