Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 192

What is the function of the Context Directory Agent?

Answer options

• A. reads the AD logs to map IP addresses to usernames
• B. relays user authentication requests from Cisco WSA to AD
• C. maintains users' group memberships
• D. accepts user authentication requests on behalf of Cisco WSA for user identification

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Context Directory Agent specifically reads the Active Directory logs to correlate IP addresses with usernames. Options B, C, and D describe functions that are not performed by the Context Directory Agent, as it does not relay requests, maintain group memberships, or accept requests on behalf of Cisco WSA.
