Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 80

An administrator has a cluster in a secure environment. The administrator wants to disable password authentication over SSH to access the cluster.
Which configuration should the administrator use to disable password authentication over SSH?

Answer options

• A. Modify the SSH configuration on each host.
• B. Enable cluster lockdown in Prism.
• C. Modify the SSH configuration on each CVM.
• D. Configure a proxy server in Prism.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because enabling cluster lockdown in Prism effectively disables password authentication for SSH across the cluster. Modifying the SSH configuration on each host or CVM (options A and C) would not provide a centralized solution and could lead to inconsistent configurations. Configuring a proxy server in Prism (option D) does not directly relate to disabling password authentication.
