Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a security policy with a Source User-ID for the VPN user and a Destination Object for the server.
Using a combination of a dedicated security policy with a specific User-ID/Group-ID source and a specific destination address object is the standard practice for least privilege access.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Set the user to 'Any' in the security policy.
Why it's wrong here
This grants access to any user, which is not secure.
- ✗
Create a NAT policy to map the user's IP to the server.
Why it's wrong here
NAT is for address translation, not security filtering.
- ✓
Create a security policy with a Source User-ID for the VPN user and a Destination Object for the server.
Why this is correct
This leverages user identity and object-based filtering for precise access control.
- ✗
Assign the VPN user a unique IP pool.
Why it's wrong here
IP pools are for address management, not granular access control per user.
