IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 Deployment — Question 47
A customer has deployed an IBM Security Access Manager V9.0 solution to protect web applications. After the initial authentication between the client and
WebSEAL, WebSEAL can build a new Basic Authentication header and use the ""b option to provide the authenticated Security Access Manager user name
(client's original identity) together with a predefined static password across the junction to the back-end server.
Which configuration option will accomplish this?
Answer options
- A. - gso
- B. ""b filter
- C. ""b ignore
- D. -supply
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D, as the '-supply' option allows WebSEAL to pass the authenticated user's identity and a static password to the back-end server. Options A, B, and C do not provide the necessary functionality to supply the credentials required for authentication to the server.
