Question 740
A guest web portal redirects successfully but browsers report that its TLS certificate does not match the portal hostname. Which ongoing operational safeguard best reduces the chance of recurrence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
This is a continuing control for the failure mode in which the certificate identity check fails before users can safely trust the HTTPS portal. It complements the immediate fix instead of relying on a one-off correction.
Incorrect Answers
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when an access switch detects unauthorized MAC addresses but the operator plans to disable all port controls to restore a single legitimate printer. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a switch administrator attempts to apply a full-access policy to every authenticated wired client to simplify ticket handling. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
That control is useful for a different failure, such as when a printer is allowed into a protected VLAN solely because its hostname matches an approved naming prefix. It would leave the present failure mode insufficiently addressed.
