What connectivity is required for VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard to perform Sensor Certificate...

The connectivity that is required for VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard to perform Sensor Certificate Validation is TCP/443 to GoDaddy OCSP and CRL URLs (crl.godaddy.com and ocsp.godaddy.com). Sensor Certificate Validation is a feature that allows the Carbon Black Cloud agent to verify the authenticity and validity of the certificates used by the Carbon Black Cloud services. This feature enhances the security and trust of the communication between the agent and the cloud. To perform Sensor Certificate Validation, the agent needs to access the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) and Certificate Revocation List (CRL) services provided by GoDaddy, the certificate authority that issues the certificates for Carbon Black Cloud. These services use the HTTPS protocol, which runs on port 443. Therefore, the agent needs to have TCP/443 connectivity to the GoDaddy OCSP and CRL URLs, which are crl.godaddy.com and ocsp.godaddy.com12.

The other options are incorrect because they do not specify the correct protocol, port, or URLs for Sensor Certificate Validation. TCP/80 is the port for HTTP, not HTTPS, and it is not used by the OCSP and CRL services. GoDaddy CRL URL is only one of the two URLs that the agent needs to access, the other one is GoDaddy OCSP URL. References:
