IBM Security Verify Access V10.0 Deployment Intermediate Practice Exam: Medium Difficulty 2025

An organization is designing a high-availability architecture for IBM Security Verify Access. They need to ensure session persistence across multiple reverse proxy instances. Which combination of components should they implement to achieve this requirement?

During the installation of IBM Security Verify Access, an administrator needs to configure the embedded LDAP server to store user and policy data. What is the primary consideration when deciding whether to use the embedded LDAP versus an external LDAP directory?

An administrator is configuring a reverse proxy instance and needs to create a junction to a backend application server. The application uses both HTTP and HTTPS protocols and requires mutual authentication. Which junction type and configuration settings should be used?

A company needs to implement single sign-on between IBM Security Verify Access and multiple web applications using different authentication mechanisms. Some applications support SAML 2.0, while others only support header-based authentication. What is the most appropriate architectural approach?

An administrator is configuring Access Control Lists (ACLs) for a web application. The requirement is that users in the 'managers' group should have full access to /reports/* and /data/*, while users in the 'employees' group should have read-only access to /reports/* and no access to /data/*. What is the correct approach to implement this policy?

During the configuration of an authentication mechanism, an administrator needs to implement risk-based authentication that evaluates user behavior, device fingerprinting, and geolocation before granting access. Which IBM Security Verify Access component should be leveraged?

An administrator notices that users are experiencing intermittent authentication failures. The msg_webseald.log shows 'HPDAC0240E Authentication request was denied' errors. What is the most systematic troubleshooting approach to identify the root cause?

A company is deploying IBM Security Verify Access with a requirement to integrate with an existing OAuth 2.0 ecosystem. They need the solution to act as both an OAuth Authorization Server for some applications and as an OAuth client for others. What configuration approach should be implemented?

An organization needs to implement API protection for their REST APIs using IBM Security Verify Access. The APIs require rate limiting, OAuth token validation, and transformation of requests/responses. What is the recommended architectural pattern?

During a maintenance window, an administrator needs to update the SSL certificates used by the reverse proxy for client-facing connections. After updating the certificate in the key database, users report that they cannot establish SSL connections. What is the most likely cause and resolution?
