Question 11

An IT administrator is configuring ClearPass to connect to an AD server. They decide to set the server timeout to 20 seconds. What potential issue might arise from this configuration?

  1. The AD server will reject the connection from ClearPass.
  2. The backup AD server will be contacted immediately, bypassing the primary server.
  3. The client may timeout before ClearPass has time to contact a second AD server.

Question 12

A network administrator is configuring a ClearPass service to enhance security by integrating multiple authentication and authorization sources. They decided to use Active Directory (AD) for both authentication and authorization and integrated mobile device management for device validation.What advantage does this configuration provide in terms of security and user management?

  1. It eliminates the need for OnGuard and Onboard services in ClearPass.
  2. It allows for comprehensive user credential validation and provides additional context about the device’s security status.
  3. It enables the network administrator to bypass the need for user account attributes in the Active Directory.

Question 13

An IT administrator is configuring ClearPass to authenticate users in a large organization. They set the Base DN to the OU containing user accounts but noticed that computer accounts are not authenticated.What could be the reason for this issue?

  1. The password for the service account has expired.
  2. The ClearPass account does not have write access to the directory.
  3. The Base DN is too narrow, excluding the OU with computer accounts.

Question 14

A fitness club has implemented a new security system. Members must scan their membership card at the entrance to gain access. The system verifies the card against the club’s database to check the membership status. If the membership is active, access is granted.Which phase of this process is similar to a network access model?

  1. Authorization, because it involves granting permissions based on membership type.
  2. Accounting, because it involves tracking the usage of the club facilities.
  3. Authentication involves verifying the credentials and validating the account status.

Question 15

A network administrator is tasked with setting up a secure network for a company. They decide to use ClearPass to manage network access. The administrator needs to configure authentication sources to ensure that only authorized users can access the network.Given that the company uses Microsoft Active Directory for user management, what is the most critical step the administrator should take to integrate ClearPass with the existing system?

  1. Configure ClearPass to interact with Microsoft Active Directory and validate user credentials.
  2. Set up ClearPass to log all user activities for auditing purposes.
  3. Ensure that ClearPass can enforce network policies based on user roles.
