What is one of the benefits of using a federated repository over a user registry?
A . Does not support identity profiles
B . Supports only one registry in a realm
C . Supports multiple registries within a realm
D . Provides account and password policy support

Answer: C

Explanation:

Federated repositories enable you to use multiple repositories with WebSphere® Application Server. These repositories, which can be file-based repositories, LDAP repositories, or a sub-tree of an LDAP repository, are defined and theoretically combined under a single realm. All of the user repositories that are configured under the federated repository functionality are invisible to WebSphere Application Server.

I think the answer is D
Federated repositories User registry
Supports multiple types of repositories such as file-based, LDAP, database, and custom. In WebSphere Application Server Version 9.0, file-based and LDAP repositories are supported by the administrative console. However, the federated repositories functionality does not support local operating system implementations.
With this service release, the federated repositories functionality supports local operating system implementations.
For database and custom repositories, you can use the wsadmin command-line interface or the configuration application programming interfaces (API).
NoteWebSphere Application Server federated repositories support a z/OS® LDAP server with an SDBM backend (resource access control facility (RACF®)). Supports multiple types of registries such as the local operating system, a stand-alone LDAP registry, and a stand-alone custom registry.
Supports multiple repositories in a realm within a cell. Supports one registry only in a realm within a cell.
Provides read and write capabilities for the repositories that are defined in the federated repository configuration. Provides read only capability for the registries.
Provides account and password policy support as defined by the registry type. However, this support is not provided by the federated repository functionality. Provides account and password policy support as defined by the registry type.
Supports identity profiles. Does not support identity profiles.
