HPE Aruba Certified Mobility Professional (ACMP) — Question 79

What is the purpose of the captive portal URL hash key on an AOS-Switch?

Answer options

• A. It specifies the captive portal URL and conceals the setting in the config.
• B. It authenticates guest users based on the password the users enter in the portal.
• C. It does not let users alter the URL that redirects them to the portal.
• D. It encrypts and secures the RADIUS messages that the AOS-Switch sends to ClearPass.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the URL hash key is designed to prevent users from modifying the redirect URL for the captive portal. Option A is incorrect as it describes the URL specification but not its protective function. Option B is wrong because authentication is handled through other means, not by the hash key. Option D is not applicable, as the hash key does not encrypt RADIUS messages.
