What is the primary function of the authentication token in relation to the Zscaler Client Connector?

The primary function of the authentication token in relation to the Zscaler Client Connector is to register the device with the Zscaler Client Connector Portal. This token serves as a crucial element in the authentication process, allowing the Zscaler Client Connector to establish a trusted connection between the device and the Zscaler platform. By effectively registering the device, the authentication token ensures that the subsequent communications and security policies are appropriately enforced.

In this context, the other choices do not align with the core functionality of the authentication token. While the Zscaler Client Connector may enhance security and enable monitoring capabilities, those functions are not directly linked to the role of the authentication token. Instead, actions such as monitoring user activity or encrypting internet traffic are facilitated through different mechanisms within Zscaler's architecture rather than through the authentication token itself. The token is specifically focused on ensuring the device is recognized and authorized within the Zscaler ecosystem.
