VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 29

A systems administrator wants to integrate Microsoft Certificate Authority with SDDC Manager and has already established a connection between the components.
Which pre-requisite step is required for this integration to work?

Answer options

• A. Verify that the Microsoft Certificate Authority Server has the RBAC roles configured on the same machine where the Certificate Authority role is installed.
• B. Verify that the Microsoft Certificate Authority Server has been configured for basic authentication.
• C. Verify that a customized certificate template has been configured on the SDDC Manager.
• D. Verify that the self-signed certificates have been replaced with signed certificates from Microsoft Certificate Authority.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because basic authentication is required for the Microsoft Certificate Authority Server to securely communicate with SDDC Manager. Options A and C are incorrect as they pertain to roles and templates that are not necessary for integration. Option D is also incorrect since the focus is specifically on the authentication setup, not the type of certificates used.
