IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0 Deployment and Administration Sample Questions:

1. When configuring a federated LDAP repository rather than a stand-alone LDAP repository, what are some of the differences?

A) Federated LDAP properties begin with federated.ldap, whereas stand-alone LDAP properties begin with standalone.ldap in the wkplc.properties file. Different configuration tasks are used both for LDAP validation and establishing an LDAP connection.
B) Federated LDAP properties begin with federated.ldap whereas stand-alone LDAP properties begin with standalone.ldap in the wkplc.properties file, but both still use the validate-ldap configuration task for validation and the create-wp-ldap task for creating the LDAP repository.
C) Administrators must select the Federated LDAP check box in the IBM WebSphere Integrated Solutions console.
D) LDAP properties (whether federated or stand-alone) begin with ldap, but federated LDAP uses the validate-federated-ldap task for LDAP validation, whereas stand-alone LDAP uses the validate-standalone-ldap task for LDAP validation. Both use the wp-modify-ldap-security task for establishing LDAP connection.

2. Peter wants to change the cache expiration time for the IBM WebSphere Portal internal cache for unauthenticated WebSphere Portal pages. What does he need to do?

A) Change the value of the public.expires property in the config/services/CacheManagerService.properties file.
B) Change the value of the public.expires property in the WP NavigatorService resource environment provider using the deployment manager administrative console.
C) Change the value of the public.expires property in the /config/services/NavigatorService.properties file.
D) Change the value of the public.expires property in the WP CacheManagerService resource environment provider using the deployment manager administrative console

3. After deploying a remote search service on a server, which of the following best describes how a portal administrator would configure portal search to use the remote search service?

A) For the WP Configuration service, set the pse.remote.type custom property to match the type of remote search service that was deployed.
B) Set the Portal Search Center portlet configuration parameter named search_type to remote and search_name to the hostname of the server where the remote search service has been deployed.
C) Configure the remote search service parameters in the wkplc.properties file and run the ConfigEngine enable-remote-pse-service command.
D) From the Manage Search portlet, define a new search service and set the PSE_Type parameter to the remote search service type (i.e, SOAP).

4. Bob needs to integrate IBM WebSphere Portal to handle tasks from several different backend systems as a service. Bob can create tasks and specialized workflows using which of the following?

A) Page Builder and Portlet Wires
B) IBM Rational Application Developer Edition and Standard Portlet API
C) Unified Task Portlet
D) Unified Task Developer Edition and Collaborative Services API

5. Eric has an IBM WebSphere Portal 7.0 server with WebSphere Application Server 7.0 and IBM HTTP Server 7.0 installed in his production environment. He wants to install WebSphere Portal 8.0 in his production environment and wants to reuse the IBM HTTP Server 7.0 with WebSphere Portal 8.0 and WebSphere Application Server 8.0. How can he do that?

A) Eric only needs to configure WebSphere Portal 8.0 and WebSphere Application Server 8.0 with IBM HTTP Server 7.0.
B) Eric needs to install WebSphere plug-in 8.0 and configure it with IBM HTTP Server 7.0 and add the configuration to the WebSphere Application Server 8.0, which is running WebSphere Portal
8.0.
C) Eric needs to reconfigure the plug-in.xml file to point to the WebSphere Portal 7.0 and WebSphere Portal 8.
D) Eric needs to install a new instance of IBM HTTP Server 8.0 and WebSphere plug-in 8.0. IBM HTTP Server 7.0 and the WebSphere plug-in do not support WebSphere Application Server 8.0 and WebSphere Portal 8.0.
