When the solutions architect tests authentication through the federated identity web portal, access to the AWS environment is granted. However, when test users attempt to authenticate through the federated identity web portal, they are not able to access the AWS environment. Which items should the solutions architect check to ensure identity federation is properly configured? (Choose three.)
