HPE Aruba Certified WAN Associate (ACWA) — Question 1

When ClearPass is communicating with external context servers, which connection protocol is typically used?

Answer options

• A. FTP over SSH
• B. REST APIs over HTTPS
• C. SOAP and XML
• D. YAML

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as REST APIs over HTTPS is the standard method for ClearPass to securely communicate with external context servers. Options A, C, and D do not represent the common protocols used in this context, with FTP over SSH being more related to file transfers, SOAP being a different web service protocol, and YAML being a data serialization format, not a communication protocol.
