   A research organization uses a PowerScale cluster to store large datasets. Linux workstations access the data via NFS, and Windows workstations access the same data via SMB. The organization wants to ensure that users accessing the data via either protocol are authenticated using the same identity. The cluster is currently joined to Active Directory. Which configuration is required?

   • ACreate separate users in the access zone for NFS and SMB access.
   • BSet the access zone's authentication provider to 'LDAP' for both NFS and SMB.
   • CConfigure the SMB share to use 'Local Users' and the NFS export to use 'Unix Users'.
   • DEnable the access zone's NFS export to use Kerberos authentication and map the NFS principals to the same Active Directory users.

   A financial services firm has a PowerScale cluster joined to Active Directory. A group of Windows users needs access to a specific SMB share. The share currently uses the default authentication settings. The security team requires that all access to this share be authenticated using Kerberos, and that NTLM authentication be explicitly disabled for this share. Which configuration should the administrator apply?

   • AConfigure the share to use 'Local Users' as the authentication provider.
   • BSet the share's permission to 'Kerberos only' in the share properties.
   • CDisable NTLM in the Active Directory domain controller's Group Policy.
   • DModify the access zone's SMB server settings to require Kerberos and disable NTLM authentication.

   • AConfigure the NFS export to use 'Kerberos' with the Active Directory provider.
   • BConfigure the NFS export to use 'AUTH_SYS'.
   • CCreate local users for each Linux user in the access zone.
   • DAdd the LDAP directory as an additional authentication provider in the access zone.
