Implementing Automation for Cisco Data Center Solutions (DCAUTO) — Question 45

Which two components are required from the Cisco Intersight REST API Authentication? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. SHA256 hash of the message body and message headers.
• B. SHA256 hash of the message body, including empty message bodies.
• C. RSA private key with a key size of 2048.
• D. RSA private key with a key size of 1024.
• E. SHA384 hash of the message body, excluding empty message bodies.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The correct answers are A and C because the Cisco Intersight REST API requires a SHA256 hash of the message body and headers for authentication, along with an RSA private key that must have a size of 2048 bits. Options B, D, and E are incorrect as they either do not meet the specifications for the hash or the RSA key size required by the API.
