Citrix Access Control Administration — Question 16

Scenario: A Citrix Administrator manages an environment that has three SSL websites, all serving the same content. www.company.com www.company.net www.company.org
The administrator would like to consolidate the websites into a single, load-balanced SSL virtual server.
What can the administrator bind to use a single SSL virtual server?

Answer options

• A. The certificate of each website to a single SSL virtual server
• B. A wildcard certificate to a single SSL virtual server
• C. A multiple SAN certificate to a single SSL virtual server
• D. A wildcard certificate to a content-switching virtual server

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a multiple SAN (Subject Alternative Name) certificate allows multiple domain names to be secured under one certificate, which is ideal for the consolidation of the three SSL websites. The other options do not provide the same level of flexibility: A would require multiple certificates, B only covers one domain with wildcard capability, and D is not applicable since it pertains to a content-switching virtual server rather than an SSL virtual server.
