Securing the Web with Cisco Web Security Appliance (SWSA) — Question 23

What causes authentication failures on a Cisco WSA when LDAP is used for authentication?

Answer options

• A. when the passphrase contains only 5 characters
• B. when the passphrase contains characters that are not 7-bit ASCI
• C. when the passphrase contains one of following characters "˜@ # $ % ^'
• D. when the passphrase contains 50 characters

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as LDAP authentication can fail if the passphrase contains characters outside the 7-bit ASCII range. Option A is incorrect because a 5-character passphrase is valid, while option C is wrong because the specified characters do not inherently cause failures. Option D is also incorrect since a 50-character passphrase can be valid as long as it adheres to the ASCII requirements.
