Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The CAM service is the Use vSphere Authentication Proxy service.
When you use the vSphere Authentication Proxy, you do not need to transmit Active Directory credentials to the host. Users supply the domain name of the Active Directory server and the IP address of the authentication proxy server when they add a host to a domain.
When you install the vSphere Authentication Proxy service, the installer creates a domain account with appropriate privileges to run the authentication proxy service. The account name begins with the prefix CAM- and has a 32-character, randomly generated password associated with it. The password is set to never expire.
After you install the vSphere Authentication Proxy service (CAM service), you must configure the host to use the authentication proxy server to authenticate users.
To configure the host to use CAM services, you select the Use vSphere Authentication Proxy checkbox.
Incorrect Answers:
B: CAM services is not a valid option for the Directory Services type. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: You do not specify CAM$ for the domain; you need to enter the domain name in the format of name.tld where name.tld is the domain that the host is joining. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: You do not set the trusted domain camname.tld. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
