Nutanix NCA-6.10 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 81:

  Which feature should be enabled to prevent password access to the CVM for both the nutanix and admin user accounts?

  A. Cluster lockdown
  B. STIG
  C. RBAC Policy on PC
  D. Data-at-Rest Encryption
  A. Cluster lockdown

  ---

  Explanation

  Cluster lockdown is the appropriate focus because Cluster lockdown disables direct password access for the built-in CVM accounts and moves access control to the hardened model. Cluster lockdown maps the scenario to entitlement management, which is the boundary that determines where the administrator should act in a Nutanix environment. Cluster lockdown keeps the operation in a supported path with predictable cluster behavior when multiple nodes, services, workloads, or management views are involved.

  Cluster lockdown should be remembered as a functional match: identify the requested outcome, then choose the Nutanix component that owns that outcome.

  STIG can matter in a different workflow, while Cluster lockdown is tied to the outcome requested here.

  RBAC Policy on PC is a neighboring term, but Cluster lockdown carries the responsibility that satisfies the requirement. Data-at-Rest Encryption should be ruled out because the behavior under discussion belongs to Cluster lockdown. Cluster lockdown is also a useful study anchor because it links the scenario wording to a real administrative action instead of to a term that only shares the same general topic.
