22Use the following scenario to answer Questions 22–24.Tom is a new security manager for a
retail company, which currently has an identity management system (IdM) in place.
The data within the various identity stores update more quickly than the current IDM
software can keep up with, so some access decisions are made based upon obsolete
information. While the IDM currently provides centralized access control of internal
network assets, it is not tied into the web-based access control components that are
embedded within the company’s partner portals. Tom also notices that help-desk technicians
are spending too much time resetting passwords for internal employees.
Which of the following changes would be best for Tom’s team to implement?- AMove from namespaces to distinguished names.
- BMove from meta-directories to virtual directories.
- CMove from RADIUS to TACACS+.
- DMove from a centralized to a decentralized control model.
