Pass the Zscaler Digital Transformation Administrator ZDTA Questions and answers with CertsForce

Server Groups in ZPA use Dynamic Server Discovery to supply Connector Groups with the application endpoints’ DNS names or IPs. The Connector Groups then resolve those addresses and perform health checks to ensure the applications are reachable before steering user traffic.

The forwarding mechanism called ZTunnel with Local Proxy creates a loopback address on the machine to forward traffic to the Zscaler cloud. This local proxy intercepts client traffic on the loopback interface and securely forwards it through the Zscaler cloud, providing flexibility and control over traffic forwarding.

SSH tunneling falls under unsanctioned protocol use, which Zscaler’s Cloud App Control feature detects via deep packet inspection and then blocks according to policy.

Zscaler Client Connector’s Tunnel 2.0 uses a packet‑filter based tunnel that encapsulates all IP traffic - both TCP and UDP on any port, plus ICMP - to the Zero Trust Exchange

Users receive conditional access only once they satisfy the policy’s authorization and security criteria, ensuring device posture, user identity, and any other checks have passed before they can reach the segmented application.

Valid criteria for Access Policy Rules in ZPA include Group Membership, ZIA Risk Score, Domain Joined, and Certificate Trust. These attributes allow granular policy decisions based on user identity, device posture, and risk context.

Options including password are invalid as passwords are not used as policy criteria; similarly, SNI and Branch Connector Group are more relevant to other controls. The study guide lists these user and device attributes explicitly as policy criteria within ZPA access policies.
