A water utility wants Identity Firewall user mapping on Linux historian VMs as well as Windows engineering desktops. Some Linux builds are not on the NSX-T support matrix. What should the administrator do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
GI and IDFW are picky about the guest OS. If the historian’s Linux is not on the support list, flipping the switch does not invent user mapping. Stick to supported guests.
Full Explanation
Guest Introspection and Identity Firewall capabilities are guest-OS dependent. NSX-T 3.x IDFW and GI identity support is documented per Windows and, where available, specific Linux distributions. Enabling the features on unsupported guests, substituting Carbon Black Live Response, or assuming file introspection implies identity mapping is incorrect.
