Citrix ADC 13 Advanced Topics – Security, Management and Optimization — Question 34

Which Citrix ADC monitor can a Citrix Administrator use to check the authentication service of the Active Directory (AD) domain controller?

Answer options

• A. An LDAP monitor with the LDAP Script Name, Configured Base DN, Bind DN, Filter, Attribute, and Password parameters in the basic parameters.
• B. A ping monitor with the IP address of the AD domain controller in the special parameters
• C. A MYSQL-ECV monitor with the Base DN, Bind DN, Filter, Attribute, and Password parameters configured in the basic parameters
• D. A TCP monitor with the LDAP Base DN configured in the basic parameters.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because an LDAP monitor is specifically designed to interact with Active Directory services, utilizing parameters that ensure proper communication with the directory. Options B, C, and D do not provide the necessary authentication checks against the AD domain controller, as they either check connectivity or use the wrong protocol for this purpose.
