Question

The LMorgan user object resides in the LGA . DA container in an eDirectory tree named .DA-TREE . . The MWaters and the MFinn users also reside in the LGA container. LMorgan is a member of the Sales.LGA . DA group object. The DA2 server also resides in the LGA . DA container. The LMorgan user is security equivalent to which objects in the tree? (Choose 2.)

Options

  • AThe Sales group.
  • BThe MWaters user.
  • CThe LGA container.
  • DThe MFinn user.

Why each option

In eDirectory, security equivalence is automatically granted through explicit group membership and implicit inheritance from container objects in a user's context path.

AThe Sales group.Correct

LMorgan is an explicit member of the Sales.LGA.DA group; eDirectory automatically makes any user security equivalent to every group they belong to, so LMorgan inherits all trustee assignments granted to the Sales group object.

BThe MWaters user.

MWaters is a peer user object in the same container; eDirectory does not create security equivalence between co-located user objects - only group membership and container hierarchy produce that relationship.

CThe LGA container.Correct

eDirectory implicitly makes every user security equivalent to all container objects in their distinguished name hierarchy; because LMorgan's object resides in LGA.DA, LMorgan automatically inherits any rights assigned directly to the LGA container.

DThe MFinn user.

MFinn is another user object residing in LGA; sharing a parent container with another user object does not grant security equivalence between those users in eDirectory.

EThe DA2 server object.

The DA2 server object is a sibling object in LGA.DA, not a group or ancestor container; eDirectory security equivalence does not propagate from server objects to user objects that merely share the same container.
