Application Deployment and Security

Question Image

Refer to the exhibit. A team of engineers deploys a new front-facing application that communicates with other services to handle user requests. An external authentication and authorization service on port 6379 is used. When users try the new application, errors are reported. What is the cause of the issue?

  • A The new application cannot reach the client IPs.
  • B The users are not authenticating properly.
  • C The authentication service is unreachable.
  • D The new application drops user requests.
Explanation

The log entries show 'Error 61 connecting to localhost:6379. Connection refused,' which means the application's attempt to reach the authentication and authorization service listening on port 6379 failed at the connection level. Because the connection was refused, the application could not verify the user's identity, resulting in the request being dropped. This points to the authentication service being unreachable (e.g., not running, not listening on that port, or blocked), rather than a problem with client IP connectivity, invalid user credentials, or the application itself intentionally dropping valid requests unrelated to the auth failure.
