An organization uses Active Directory for NSX authentication. The NSX administrator has configured the LDAP identity source with the domain controller's FQDN and successfully tested connectivity. Users can authenticate, but when assigning roles, the administrator notices that only a subset of AD groups are visible. What is the most likely reason for this?

The LDAP bind account does not have permission to read all groups in the directory.

The LDAP identity source is configured with the wrong port number.

The LDAP identity source is configured with the wrong authentication method.

NSX only synchronizes groups that have at least one member who has logged in.

What is the primary purpose of integrating NSX with VMware Identity Manager (vIDM)?

To enable NSX to manage vIDM's certificate lifecycle

To provide centralized authentication and single sign-on for NSX administrators

To replace NSX's local user accounts with a built-in directory service

To synchronize NSX firewall rules with vIDM security groups

An NSX administrator needs to grant a group of external consultants read-only access to NSX to review the security posture. The consultants authenticate via a vIDM identity source. The administrator wants to ensure that the consultants can view security policies and firewall logs but cannot see any networking configuration. Which approach should the administrator take?

Create a custom role with read-only permissions for security features and assign it to the consultants' group.

Assign the Auditor role to the consultants' group in NSX.

Assign the Network Admin role to the consultants' group in NSX.

Assign the Security Admin role to the consultants' group in NSX.

When troubleshooting an LDAP integration issue in NSX, what is a common first step?

Verify network connectivity between NSX Manager and the LDAP server
