Exam NCP-MCI v6.5 topic 1 question 60 discussion

A : "To add user accounts through Active Directory, see Configuring Authentication. If you enable the Prism Self Service feature, an Active Directory is assigned as part of that process. No permissions are granted to the local users by default. To grant permissions to the directory users, you must specify roles for the users in that directory (see Configuring an Authorization Policy)." https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Nutanix-Security-Guide-v6_8:mul-user-manage-pc-t.html

I'm going with D

Account lock status needs to be checked. "When logging into Prism and Prism Central, you receive an "Authentication Failed" error message or a login page loop. This may be happening because of one of the following reasons: Active Directory user account has an expired password, is locked, or has been disabled. Active Directory service login account has an expired password, is locked, or has been disabled. Active Directory server is incorrectly configured in Prism and Prism Central, or the server is not responding" https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/kbs/details?targetId=kA00e000000CwYACA0

Checking the local user account configuration should be the first step considering the context of the issue occurring after configuring Active Directory as the authentication service. Before implementing Active Directory authentication, Prism Central likely relied on local user accounts for login credentials. After transitioning to Active Directory authentication, it's possible that the local user account configuration might not have been updated or could have been affected by the change, leading to login issues with privileged accounts.
