IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances Firmware V5.0 Solution Implementation Sample Questions:

1. A solution implementer needs to configure SSL mutualauthentication between DataPower and a secure backend server. The secure backend server requires the client to send a certificate for authentication. What step must the solution implementer take to allow SSL mutual authentication when DataPower acts as theclient in this scenario?

A) Configure the SSL proxy profile to be in "two-way" mode.
B) Set the ciphers list to "HIGH" in the crypto profile.
C) Configure an identification credentials object to allow the verification of client identity.
D) Enable the "Permit Connections to Insecure SSL Servers" setting in the SSL proxy profile.

2. A company wants to implement disaster recovery (DR) between a9004/9235 appliance and a 9005/7199 appliance. The company is also considering the inclusion of a DR-enabled XI52 virtual appliance in the plan. The following conditions apply: ?The source and target hardware appliances are located in geographically dispersed data centers. ?The firmware level is V5.0.0.x on the appliances, and the appliances and licenses are compatible. ?Both appliances have a different set of users that need to be merged on the restore. ?The source appliance has been initialized with disaster recovery mode and is to be securely backed up and restored on to the target appliance. Which one of the following statements is TRUE and allows the solution implementer to meet these conditions?

A) After the secure restore, the users that were defined on the target appliance must be manually configured or imported from a previously-exported configuration.
B) The secure backup from the 9005 physical appliance can be restored on the virtual appliance since they are both 9005 implementations.
C) Merge the contents of the source appliance with the target appliance by NOT selecting the "overwrite" option when prompted, which will merge the users on the target appliance.
D) Only the source appliance must be set to disaster recovery mode for the secure restore to be successful.

3. A solution implementer is considering the following active-standby configuration between two DataPower appliances:

In a simulated power failure of Appliance 1 using this active-standby configuration in a sandbox environment, Appliance 2 did not take over the active interface. What could be causing this behavior?

A) It can take several minutes for the standby interfaces to be active in an active-standby configuration.
B) In an active-standby configuration, thepriority of Appliance 2 must be changed to 99 for the failure takeover to work.
C) Appliances in the active-standby configuration must be in the same network subnet and broadcast domain.
D) There might be a firewall between the two appliances which has not been configured to allow broadcast traffic in an active-standby configuration.

4. A company would like to use a DataPower appliance to process messages from 3 different systems. The protocols for each system are: HTTP, HTTPS, and MQ. The solution implementer wants to use a single multi-protocol gateway (MPGW) serviceto handle all 3 types of messages. How can the solution implementer configure the MPGW service?

A) Create 1 shared HTTP/HTTPS Front Side Handler, and 1 MQ Front Side Handler
B) Create 3 Front Side Handlers, one for each protocol
C) Only 1 Front Side Handler can be used for each MPGW
D) All Front Side Handlers for a MPGW must be of same protocol type

5. A solution implementer has configured a processing policy that executes a stylesheet with the following code snippet:

Which MQ front side handler properties should the solution implementer configure to allow this code snippet to access the message property named "myprop"?

A) Select the Exclude Message Header property "Rules and Formatting Header (MQRFH)"
B) Enable Parse Properties
C) Select the Exclude Message Header property "Rules and Formatting Header (MQRFH2)"
D) Select the Exclude Message Header property "Message Properties (MQMP)"
