Infoblox NIOS-DDI-Expert Exam - Topic 5 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for Infoblox's NIOS-DDI-Expert exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 5

An Infoblox Grid is using remote authentication for a group named Infoblox-Admins. Where are the permissions for the accounts in Infoblox-Admins defined?

AIndividual user accounts on the external server

BGroup definitions on the external server

CGroup permissions on the Grid

DIndividual user accounts on the Grid

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth

When NIOS uses remote authentication (e.g., RADIUS, LDAP, or Active Directory), user authentication is handled by the external server, but permissions are defined within the NIOS Grid. For a group like 'Infoblox-Admins,' the external server verifies user credentials and group membership, but the Grid Manager assigns permissions (e.g., read/write access to DNS zones) to the group itself. This centralizes access control within NIOS, ensuring consistency across the Grid. Options A and B are incorrect because the external server manages authentication, not NIOS-specific permissions. Option D is wrong as permissions are group-based, not individually assigned on the Grid. The INE course covers Grid administration, including authentication setup.

I feel like the answer is definitely related to the external server, but I can't recall if it’s specifically about group definitions or individual accounts.

I’m a bit confused. I thought permissions could also be set on the Grid itself, but that might only apply to local accounts.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think it was about group definitions on the external server. That makes sense for remote authentication.

I think the permissions for the Infoblox-Admins group are defined on the external server, but I'm not sure if it's at the group level or individual accounts.

This seems like a straightforward question. Since the group is using remote authentication, the permissions for that group must be defined on the external server, not on the Grid itself. I'm confident option B is the correct answer.

I'm a little confused by this question. Is the permissions for the Infoblox-Admins group defined on the individual user accounts on the external server, or on the group definitions on the external server? I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully.

Okay, I think I've got it. The question says the group is using remote authentication, so the permissions for that group must be defined on the external server, not on the Infoblox Grid. I'll go with option B.

B) Group definitions on the external server. It makes sense that the permissions would be defined on the external authentication server, not on the Infoblox Grid itself.
