A system administrator discovers an issue that requires a change to a federated server. In this
cell, WebSphere administrative security is enabled, but application security is not enabled.
How should the administrator make this change?
The administrator should use:

A.
a web browser to connect to the node agent https port.
B.
a web browser to connect to the deployment manager admin_host port.
C.
the job manager to submit a job to update the unmanaged server.
D.
an ssh connection to the node and modify the client_types.xmI file.

I think B is wrong
question says “In this cell, WebSphere administrative security is enabled,” so you need to connect WC_adminhost_secure port.

I agree with Pravesh. B is the most appropriate one.
A, Connect to the node agent https port — It does not make any sense.
B. Connect to admin_host port. Because it said this WAS set the administrative security, it seems has to be admin_host_secure.
But actually, once you type http://host:admin_host/ibm/console, it will direct you to https://host:admin_host_secure/ibm/console.
I tested it on WAS 8.5 and it works
C. Job manager. It is also OK, by submitting Jython running task to update the application security. But it said, update “unmanaged server”. I think it was wrong because the question asked “require a change to a federated server”.
D. client_types.xml is under /opt/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer/properties. But it does not have any info, about application security.
So the answer is B.

I tried logging into the admin console from the adminhost port (insecure, 9060) and it redirected me to the secure adminhost_secure port (9043).
So I guess B is undoubtedly the correct answer.
