- B. Create a non-privileged account on the target server. Allow this account the ability to SSH directly from the CPM machine. Configure this account as the Logon account of the target server's root account.
- C. Configure the Unix system to allow SSH logins.
- D. Configure the CPM to allow SSH logins.
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Option B is correct because it adheres to best practices by using a non-privileged account to manage root access, minimizing security risks. Option A is incorrect as it suggests creating a privileged account, which contradicts the principle of least privilege. Options C and D do not specifically address the requirement of CPM managing root accounts effectively.
