Identity with Windows Server 2016 — Question 76

Your network contains an Active Directory forest. The forest functional level is Windows Server 2016.
The network contains Linux servers that use MIT Kerberos V5 to provide an authentication, authorization, and access service.
You need to ensure that users can use their Active Directory credentials to access the resources on the Linux servers. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you implement?

Answer options

• A. an external trust
• B. a realm trust
• C. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
• D. a Web Application Proxy

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Implementing a realm trust allows for interoperability between Active Directory and the MIT Kerberos V5 on the Linux servers, enabling users to authenticate using their Active Directory credentials. An external trust is not suitable for this scenario as it is typically used for accessing resources in separate forests. Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) and a Web Application Proxy do not directly facilitate the necessary Kerberos authentication between Active Directory and Linux servers.
