If there is a secure socket layer in place, what will you need in addition to a user ID in order to access the shared files?

To access shared files over a secure socket layer (SSL), in addition to a user ID, a password is necessary. SSL is designed to create a secure, encrypted connection between a client and a server, ensuring that any data transmitted is protected from eavesdropping and tampering. The requirement for a password adds an additional layer of authentication, confirming the identity of the user attempting to access the files.

Using a password alongside a user ID ensures that only authorized individuals who know the correct credentials can gain access. This practice helps safeguard sensitive information and reinforces security protocols. Although other options like encryption keys or security tokens might enhance security in different contexts, they do not serve the same fundamental purpose as a password in typical user authentication scenarios for accessing shared files.
