2V0-16.25 Question #29: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B. Select the Activate Standard Certificate Validation under Global Settings.. Activating Standard Certificate Validation in Global Settings is required because CRL checking is a certificate validation feature that must be explicitly enabled - VMware does not activate it by default, and the CRL tab only appears in the UI once this validation mode is turned

Section 5 – Manage VMware vSphere Foundation Operations

Question

An administrator is informed that a digital certificate used by vSphere has been revoked by the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) before the scheduled expiration date. The administrator checks the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations but the CRL tab is not activated. What must the administrator do to view the CRL?

Options

  • ASelect the External Event Based Active Symptoms under Global Settings.
  • BSelect the Activate Standard Certificate Validation under Global Settings.
  • CSet the Threshold For Adapters Certificate Expiration Alert to 6 under Global Settings.
  • DThe CRL tab is not available when VCF Operations is licensed under vSphere Foundation.

Explanation

Activating Standard Certificate Validation in Global Settings is required because CRL checking is a certificate validation feature that must be explicitly enabled - VMware does not activate it by default, and the CRL tab only appears in the UI once this validation mode is turned on. Option A is wrong because "External Event Based Active Symptoms" relates to triggering alerts from external events, not certificate validation infrastructure. Option C is wrong because the certificate expiration threshold controls when alerts fire about upcoming expirations, not whether revocation checking is enabled at all. Option D is wrong because CRL functionality is a feature of VCF Operations itself and is not license-gated by vSphere Foundation.

Memory tip: Think of it as a two-step unlock - you can't check revocation (CRL tab) until you activate validation (Standard Certificate Validation). "Validate first, then view" - the tab only appears after the feature switch is flipped in Global Settings.
