Question #: 71
Topic #: 1

When connected to the Check Point R80 Management Server using the SmartConsole the first administrator to connect has a lock on:

AOnly the objects being modified in the Management Database and other administrators can connect to make changes using a special session as long as they all connect from the same LAN network.

BThe entire Management Database and other administrators can connect to make changes only if the first administrator switches to Read-only.

CThe entire Management Database and all sessions and other administrators can connect only as Read-only.

DOnly the objects being modified in his session of the Management Database and other administrators can connect to make changes using different sessions.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The answer is D because in R80 and above, the first administrator to connect to the Management Server using SmartConsole gets a lock on only the objects being modified in his session of the Management Database. Other administrators can connect to make changes using different sessions, but they cannot modify the same objects as the first administrator until he publishes his changes.This is called concurrent administration and it allows multiple administrators to work on the same policy package simultaneously12Reference:Check Point R80.10 Concurrent Administration,Check Point R80.40 Security Management Administration Guide

I feel it's A. Others can still connect if on the same LAN.

Just to clarify, it's all about the first admin's session.

Wait, can other admins really connect if the first goes Read-only?

D is the way to go. The first admin gets to be the boss of the database, at least for their session.

Haha, I bet the first admin is like, "This database is mine, no one else can touch it!" Anyway, I think D is the right answer.

I'm going with C. Locking the entire database and allowing read-only access sounds like the most secure option.

D seems like the correct answer. The question is specific about the first admin's lock on the objects being modified.

I thought it was C, where everyone else connects as Read-only, but I might be mixing it up with another scenario we studied.

I remember something about only the objects being modified being locked, but I can't recall if they can still connect in a special session.

I feel like it’s option B, but I’m confused about the Read-only part. Did we cover that in practice questions?

I think the first admin has a lock on the entire Management Database, but I’m not sure if other admins can connect at all.

I'm leaning towards C. The question says the first admin has a lock on the entire database, so the other admins can only connect in read-only mode.

I'm a bit confused by the wording here. I'll need to re-read the question and options a few times to make sure I understand it fully.

I'm pretty confident it's D. The question specifies the first admin has a lock on the objects being modified, so the other admins can connect and make changes in their own sessions.
