Haha, imagine if the correct answers were 'C' and 'E'. That would be the most insecure REST API ever!

This question is a good test of our understanding of REST API security and best practices. I'm glad they're not just asking for textbook definitions.

E is just plain wrong. REST calls are sent over standard HTTP/HTTPS ports, not a specific Vault port.

C is a bit suspicious. Editing the configuration file to enable session load balancing? That sounds like a hack, not a proper REST API feature.

I agree, editing configuration files for session load balancing seems risky.

B is definitely wrong. Windows authentication should not bypass the logon process. That would be a major security risk.

A and D seem to be the correct answers. The Vault authentication token and requiring a valid token for each REST API call are essential security features.
