Microsoft Exam Questions

Which two plug-ins should you configure for PublishingPoint1?

Your network contains a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2008 R2.
Server1 has the Streaming Media Services role installed.
On Server1, you create an on-demand publishing point named PublishingPoint1.
You need to ensure that only members of a group named Group1 can access content from PublishingPoint1.
Which two plug-ins should you configure for PublishingPoint1? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A.
WMS Anonymous User Authentication

B.
WMS IP Address Authorization

C.
WMS Negotiate Authentication

D.
WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization

Explanation:
WMS Negotiate Authentication
The WMS Negotiate Authentication plug-in grants access to the server based upon the user’s network logon approval. This plug-in uses an encrypted challenge/response scheme to authenticate users. It is a secure form of authentication because the user name and password are not sent across the network; the player acknowledges the password by using a cryptographic exchange with the Windows Media server. Because this plug-in relies upon established user logon credentials, the player and server must be on the same domain or on trusted domains. Negotiate authentication does not work across proxy servers or other firewall applications.

WMS Publishing Points ACL Authorization
The WMS Publishing ACL Authorization plug-in is used to control access to your content based on the permissions you have set on your publishing points. You can configure the following options on the General tab for this plug-in.
Item

* Click Add to add a user or group to the list.
* Click Remove to remove the selected user or group from the list.
Permissions
Read
Select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can read data from your server.
Write
Select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can write data to your server. You must select both Write and Create to allow a user or group to create a publishing point.
Create
When setting permission levels for a server, select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can create publishing points on your server.
When setting permission levels for a publishing point, select either the Allow or Deny check box to set whether the user or group can use this publishing point as a template for creating other publishing points on your server when pushing content from an encoder.
You must select both Write and Create to allow a user or group to create a publishing point. Create permissions alone are not sufficient to create a new publishing point.
