Zscaler and Identity Management Quiz

SAML attributes are static and only applied on authentication. They are only changed when the user reauthenticates. They can include device and authentication attributes.

Dynamic attributes that are user- and group-specific, updated after changes in the source directory, and controlled by the IdP's frequency settings.

SCIM attributes are dynamic and update based on changes in the directory. They have a higher frequency than SAML attributes, which are static and applied only during authentication.

You can add new users to ZPA as they are assigned to the ZPA Service Provider (SP) in the source IdP. This means when a new user is added to the directory and assigned to the ZPA SP, they automatically gain access.

If a user is removed from the directory completely or from the ZPA SP in the source IdP, they will lose access to ZPA. This ensures that access is revoked for users who are no longer authorized.

SCIM allows you to update user attributes dynamically, such as group memberships. This means if a user's group membership changes in the directory, their access to ZPA resources will automatically reflect those changes.

ZPA allows you to apply policies based on SCIM attributes, either for individual users or groups. This provides more fine-grained control over access based on dynamic user information.

ZPA creates read-only lists for users, groups, and attributes. This is because ZPA, with SCIM enabled, gets its information from the source directory and doesn't directly manage users.

A configuration file that determines how traffic should be routed, including whether it should be sent to Zscaler Client Connector or directly to the internet.

A Zscaler service that provides secure access to private applications and resources.

The process of intercepting traffic destined for specific ports or applications and sending it to Zscaler Client Connector.

Traffic that is not intercepted by Zscaler Client Connector and is allowed to pass through directly to the internet.

A method of intercepting network traffic based on specific ports, such as 80 and 443.

A tunnel mode configuration where traffic is directly forwarded to Zscaler Client Connector based on a local proxy configuration.

A method of intercepting network traffic based on a dedicated network adapter and routing table.

A local listener on the Zscaler Client Connector that intercepts traffic directed to a specific proxy.

The ZIA client detects if the user is within a predefined trusted network (office, branch, data center). This is performed by matching the DNS search domain provided by DHCP, the DNS server configured on the client, and the specific FQDN resolution against IP addresses. If all match, the client determines the user is on the trusted network.

A pre-defined set of conditions that determine how traffic should be forwarded based on the user's network location. For example, on a trusted network, the client might use a tunnel, whereas on an untrusted network it might use a proxy.

Defined trusted networks that allow ZIA to make forwarding decisions for devices in those locations. Multiple Trusted Networks can be defined within your ZIA settings.

A forwarding profile can be configured to utilize multiple trusted networks, enabling tailored traffic handling for each trusted location.

Within a forwarding profile, you can select a trusted network and specify how the traffic should be handled for devices within that network. Options include using a tunnel, tunnel with a local proxy, enforcing a proxy, or not applying any special handling.

A mechanism that allows the ZIA client to securely connect to ZIA services over an untrusted network, ensuring traffic is protected during transit.

A condition that determines if a device is on a trusted network, for example, if the DNS search domain provided by DHCP, resolved FQDN to IP address, and the client's DNS server match the configured trusted network criteria.

Zscaler Client Connector configuration setting that determines how traffic is routed. It prioritizes the user's application settings and sends traffic to the closest Zscaler enforcement node.

A JavaScript function that helps ZIA decide whether to send traffic directly to the internet or through a proxy. It's used by both the browser and Zscaler Client Connector.

A PAC file used by Zscaler Client Connector to route traffic based on the application's settings. It's processed by the Zscaler Client Connector.

A method to move traffic from an existing proxy configuration to Zscaler's tunnel mode, providing a more secure Zscaler experience.

When a user is migrated from a traditional proxy to Zscaler, their browser's behavior might change due to the difference in traffic routing.

Making the transition from the use of a PAC file to a more modern, tunnel-based approach will likely improve security and performance.

A process that allows you to transfer existing on-premises PAC files into the Zscaler Client Connector. This helps streamline the transition to Zscaler from a traditional on-premises proxy.

A remote access solution that allows users to access servers, desktops, and workstations from a browser using Zscaler's Service Edge and App Connectors.

PRA sessions are streamed meaning that no data is stored on the user's device. This improves security by preventing data leakage.

PRA eliminates the need for firewalls, DMZs, and VPN clients. Users only need a browser to access the systems.

PRA allows administrators to control which consoles a user can access, ensuring that users only have access to the systems they need.

PRA allows access from any device, including unmanaged devices, making it ideal for contractors, suppliers, and third parties.

PRA provides a secure way for users to access IT and OT servers, desktops, and workstations, ensuring that data is protected.

PRA relies on Zscaler's Service Edge and App Connectors to provide secure and reliable access to systems.

PRA offers a user portal that provides access to multiple applications and systems from a single point of entry.

ZIA is a forward proxy, intercepting network traffic between the client and the web server. It inspects encrypted traffic by performing a "man-in-the-middle" operation to decrypt and analyze the content before forwarding it to the destination.

ZPA acts as a reverse proxy, establishing a secure connection between the client and the application. It terminates SSL connections, effectively becoming the "web server" for the client.

ZIA generates a new certificate on the fly, signed by a trusted issuer to replace the original certificate from the web server. This allows ZIA to decrypt and inspect traffic without the client being aware of the interception.

ZPA either uses the original service certificate from the application or a certificate specifically uploaded to the ZPA platform, providing the client with a valid certificate for the application they are accessing.

The client's browser can reveal that traffic is being intercepted by examining the certificate chain. The certificate used by ZIA will be visible in the chain, suggesting that ZIA is intercepting and inspecting the traffic.

Through its forward proxy approach, ZIA intercepts traffic before it reaches the destination web server, decrypting it and inspecting the content before forwarding it on.

ZPA acts as the "web server" for the client, terminating the SSL connection and establishing a secure connection between the client and the real application.

Zscaler has extensive experience and expertise in implementing SSL inspection at scale. It has developed a comprehensive approach to ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of SSL inspection across a large network.
