SNOW-CAD Integrating and managing application data Practice Question
Which TWO are common issues when troubleshooting a failed LDAP import?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
LDAP filter syntax is invalid
Options A and D are correct. A: Invalid LDAP filter syntax is a common issue because it can cause no results or errors during import. D: Incorrectly specified Base DN is also a frequent misconfiguration that prevents the import from locating the correct directory entries. B: OAuth token expiry is not relevant to LDAP imports; LDAP typically uses simple bind or certificate. C: Attribute mapping mismatches can occur but are less common than filter or Base DN issues. E: LDAP server unreachable is a connectivity problem, but filter and Base DN are more specific to import failures.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
LDAP filter syntax is invalid
Why this is correct
Invalid filters cause the import to retrieve no data or error.
- ✗
OAuth token for LDAP is expired
Why it's wrong here
LDAP does not use OAuth; it uses bind credentials.
- ✗
LDAP attribute mapping does not match target fields
Why it's wrong here
Attribute mapping issues cause field errors, not import failure.
- ✓
Base DN is incorrectly specified
Why this is correct
A wrong base DN prevents LDAP from locating objects.
- ✗
LDAP server is unreachable
Why it's wrong here
Connectivity is a basic check, but it is not specific to LDAP import configuration.
