Blue Prism Certified Professional Developer (APD01) — Question 5

A PDD has been created which includes a requirement to log in to an application called CDS. The CDS application only allows a user account to be logged into the application on one machine at a time. The client wishes to hold the credentials for logging into CDS in the Blue Prism Credential store.
It has been calculated that the automated solution will require 3 resource PC's to enable the case volume to be worked within SLA's.
Which is the most appropriate design decision to accommodate the above requirements?

Answer options

• A. Create user accounts and sets of Credentials per Resource PC in the Blue Prism Credential Manager for the CDS Application.
• B. Ask IT to enable concurrent logins to the CDS application for Blue Prism User Accounts
• C. Login in to the CDS application manually and let Blue Prism take over once the login is complete
• D. Create a single Credential in the Blue Prism Credential Manager for the CDS Application. Use a Blue Prism Environment Lock to ensure that only one Resource PC can be logged in to the CDS application at a time

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows for the use of a single set of credentials across multiple resource PCs while ensuring that only one can log in at any given time, thus adhering to the application's restrictions. Option A is incorrect as creating multiple accounts would lead to potential login conflicts. Option B would not be feasible since the CDS application does not support concurrent logins. Option C is not ideal as it defeats the purpose of automation by requiring manual intervention.
