IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances Firmware V5.0 Solution Implementation Sample Questions:
A customer wants to protect communication between two WebSphere DataPower Appliances against a replay attack. The second DataPower appliance needs to validate that the message received from the first appliance has spent no more than 30 seconds in transit. How should the solution implementer satisfy this requirement?
- A. Use symmetric key encryption using an encrypt-string extension function on a timestamp string on the first DataPower appliance. Then use the public certificate from the first device with a decrypt-string extension function on the second appliance and validate the timestamp.
- B. Set the var://service/transaction-timeout variable on the first DataPower appliance to30 seconds.
- C. Use symmetric key encryption using an encrypt-string extension function on a timestamp string on the first DataPower appliance. Then use the same key with a decrypt-string extension function on the second appliance and validate the timestamp.
- D. Configure mutually authenticated SSL between the two DataPower appliances with an SSL timeout field configured to 30 seconds.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️
A solution implementeris creating a multi-protocol gateway to proxy SFTP server requests. An AAA Policy is configured on the SFTP front side handler to provide user authentication for the SFTP connection. Which Extract Identity method should the solution implementer configurein the AAA Policy to extract the SFTP user's credentials?
- A. Client IP Address method.
- B. Processing Metadata method, specifying the ssh-password-metadata metadata item.
- C. Processing Metadata method, specifying the sftp-metadata metadata item.
- D. CustomTemplate method, specifying a url to a custom stylesheet that will determine the credentials.
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
A solution implementer needs to configure SSL mutualauthentication between DataPower and a secure backend server. The secure backend server requires the client to send a certificate for authentication. What step must the solution implementer take to allow SSL mutual authentication when DataPower acts as theclient in this scenario?
- A. Enable the "Permit Connections to Insecure SSL Servers" setting in the SSL proxy profile.
- B. Set the ciphers list to "HIGH" in the crypto profile.
- C. Configure the SSL proxy profile to be in "two-way" mode.
- D. Configure an identification credentials object to allow the verification of client identity.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
A solution implementer needs to create a multi-protocol gateway (MPGW) service to process XML messages. The service needs to transform the payload based on the value of the stylesheet parameter. Which code snippet will allow the solution implementer to configure the stylesheet parameter in that MPGW service that can transform different types of payloads?
- A. Option C
- B. Option A
- C. Option B
- D. Option D
Correct Answer: B 🗳️
A company wants to enforce the run-time SOA governance using service level agreement (SLA) and servicelevel definitions (SLD) policy attachments for a line of business. The solution implementer has configured a web service proxy service that uses a WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR) subscription to meet this requirement. The WSRR server hoststhe governance enablement profile that contains SLA and SLD entities. The SLA objects in WSRR are in SLA Active State. During a test run, it was identified that SLA policies from WSRR are not enforced. How can the solution implementer resolve this situation to enforce SLA policies? (choose 2) Verify that the:
- A. SLA Enforcement Mode is set as "reject".
- B. SLA policies are accurate using probe.
- C. WSRR server object is set to version 7.5 or later.
- D. WS-Policy Enforcement Mode is set as "enforce".
- E. FetchPolicy Attachments option for the WSRR Subscription is set as "on".
