VMware vRealize Automation 8.x (2022) — Question 69

What's the password storage format when using the DelegatingPasswordEncoder?

Answer options

• A. encodedPassword{id}, where {id} is an identifier used to look up which PasswordEncoder should be used.
• B. {id}encodedPassword, where {id} is an identifier used to look up which PasswordEncoder should be used.
• C. {timestamp}encodedPassword, where {timestamp} is the time when the password was encoded.
• D. {id}{salt}encodedPassword, where {id} is an identifier used to look up which PasswordEncoder should be used and {salt} a randomly generated salt.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the password format for the DelegatingPasswordEncoder starts with the identifier followed by the encoded password. Option A is incorrect as it places the identifier at the end, while C incorrectly suggests the inclusion of a timestamp and D introduces a salt, which is not part of the standard format.
