A.

In the context of Cisco Mobility Services Engine (MSE), social media authentication is a feature that allows guests to access the wireless network using their social media credentials. This can be accomplished through the Social Connect service, which is a part of the MSE Guest Connect solution.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option A, Social Connect. This service allows users to authenticate using popular social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Twitter, and Instagram. It works by redirecting the user to the social media login page, where they enter their credentials. Once authenticated, the user is granted access to the wireless network.

Client Connect and Visitor Connect are not relevant to social media authentication. Client Connect is a service that allows employees to connect their devices to the network securely. Visitor Connect is a self-service portal that allows guests to register for access to the wireless network.

Guest Connect is not a specific service provided by the MSE. Instead, it refers to the overall solution for guest access, which includes services like Social Connect, Guest Self-Registration, and Sponsor Approval.

In summary, to enable social media authentication for guest access, the engineer should configure the Social Connect service within the MSE Guest Connect solution.
