You are designing a SharePoint 2010 farm implementation that will include an extranet zone
that will employ forms-based authentication (FBA). The plan must: ·Specify how farm
administrators will manage modifications to the configuration settings for the FBA within
each Web application. .Support granular modifications to the individual Web applications.
.Include a process to apply the modifications to the SharePoint configuration database
.Specify a process to deploy the changes throughout the server farm by propagating the
changes to all Web front-end servers. You need to create a software configuration
management plan for the farm that meets all these requirements. Which approach should
your plan recommend?
A.
Build the required changes declaratively by creating an XML extension containing the
settings needed. Deploy the file to the 14\Config directory. Then use the Stsadm
copyappbincontent command to merge these changes with the existing web.config file.
B.
Build a custom list for each Web application that stores the required configuration
information. Create a custom workflow that uses the Set Field in Current Item action to
synchronize the settings in the list with the configuration database and the Web servers.
C.
Create a feature that contains code to modify the configuration settings to the web.config
file for each Web application. Then propagate the changes programmatically by
implementing the SPWebConfigModification class.
D.
Create a feature that contains code to read, modify, and save the configuration setting for
the SPWebApplication object for each Web application. Save the settings in the hierarchical
object store by creating a SPPersistedObject class to store the configuration.
