The correct answers are A and C. To use user identity information on an SRX Series Firewall, the firewall must first be able to obtain identity mappings from an identity source or identity provider, such as Active Directory, JIMS, Aruba ClearPass, or another supported identity-aware firewall component. Juniper’s identity-aware firewall documentation states that identity parameters are used to configure security policies so authenticated users receive the correct level of access, and that firewalls can query JIMS, obtain user identity information, and then enforce security policy decisions.
Option A is required because identity-aware enforcement only happens when security policies include user identity match criteria, such as source identity, users, roles, or groups. Juniper’s source-identity policy reference states that source identities are used as match criteria in security policies, and when configured, traffic is matched against authentication-table entries before policy lookup completes. Option C is required because the SRX must be configured with an identity source/provider so it can populate or query identity mappings. Option B is not an SRX configuration task and is not generally required because users may already exist in appropriate AD groups. Option D is wrong for this question; the required SRX tasks are configuring identity integration and identity-aware policies, not adding a separate “user identity” license.
