Select 3An organization uses VMware NSX-T Data Center for network virtualization. The administrator wants to configure granular access control to ensure that different users have appropriate permissions based on their roles. Which of the following are valid types of users in NSX that can be assigned specific roles?
- A
LDAP users
- B
Local users
- C
REST API users
- D
vSphere Single Sign-On (SSO) users
- E
Active Directory service accounts
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
In VMware NSX, user authentication can be managed using various sources such as local users, LDAP users, and vSphere SSO users. These user types allow administrators to assign specific roles and permissions for different tasks. While REST API requests and service accounts can interact with NSX, they are not considered distinct user types. Understanding the valid user types helps ensure proper role-based access control (RBAC) in an NSX environment.
- A. Correct.
LDAP users are valid in NSX as they can be authenticated through an external directory service integrated with NSX.
- B. Correct.
Local users are created directly within NSX and can be assigned roles for management and operational tasks.
- C. Incorrect.
REST API users are not a specific user type in NSX. REST API requests are authenticated based on credentials of existing users (e.g., local, LDAP, or SSO users).
- D. Correct.
vSphere Single Sign-On (SSO) users are valid in NSX, as NSX integrates with vSphere SSO to use its authentication framework.
- E. Incorrect.
Active Directory service accounts are not a distinct user type in NSX. However, Active Directory can be integrated to authenticate LDAP users.
