2V0-21.23 Question 160
Select 3You are configuring a new VMware SSO domain for your vSphere environment. The organization requires the domain to support integration with their Active Directory (AD) for user authentication and ensure high availability for the Platform Services Controller (PSC). Which steps should you perform to meet these requirements?
- A
Deploy two Platform Services Controller (PSC) instances in an Enhanced Linked Mode configuration.
- B
Use an external Identity Provider instead of Active Directory to authenticate users.
- C
Join the SSO domain to the Active Directory domain using the vSphere Client.
- D
Configure an external load balancer to distribute traffic between PSC instances.
- E
Use the default vsphere.local domain without additional configuration.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To meet the requirements for Active Directory integration and high availability, you must deploy multiple PSC instances in Enhanced Linked Mode and configure an external load balancer to handle traffic. Additionally, joining the SSO domain to the Active Directory domain facilitates user authentication with AD credentials. Simply using the default vsphere.local domain or relying on an external Identity Provider does not fulfill these requirements.
- A. Correct.
Deploying two PSC instances in an Enhanced Linked Mode configuration ensures high availability and replication of SSO data between PSCs.
- B. Incorrect.
Using an external Identity Provider is not required for Active Directory integration as SSO natively supports AD integration.
- C. Correct.
Joining the SSO domain to the Active Directory domain allows users to authenticate with their AD credentials, meeting the integration requirement.
- D. Correct.
Configuring an external load balancer helps distribute authentication traffic between PSC instances, ensuring high availability.
- E. Incorrect.
Using the default vsphere.local domain without additional configuration does not meet the requirements for integrating with Active Directory or ensuring high availability.
