Which certificate type do you need to configure the vault for LDAP over SSL?

  1. the CA Certificate that signed the certificate used by the External Directory
  2. a CA signed Certificate for the Vault server
  3. a CA signed Certificate for the PVWA server
  4. a self-signed Certificate for the Vault

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

To enable SSL-based encryption for LDAP integration, the Vault machine and the PVWA machine need to trust the certificate used by the External Directory. This can be achieved by importing the CA Certificate that signed the certificate used by the External Directory into the Windows certificate store on both the Vault and PVWA machines. This will facilitate an SSL connection between the Vault and the External Directory.

The CyberArk marketplace is a platform that simplifies delivery of privileged access security solutions, such as CyberArk Privileged Account Security Solution. It features the industry's broadest and deepest portfolio of technology integrations, including platforms for various types of accounts. Customers can find and deploy integrations with CyberArk Marketplace in as little as four clicks. If there is no platform that meets the customer's needs, they can request a custom platform from

CyberArk or create their own using the Platform Development Kit (PDK).

You have been asked to identify the up or down status of Vault services.
Which CyberArk utility can you use to accomplish this task?

  1. Vault Replicator
  2. PAS Reporter
  3. Remote Control Agent
  4. Syslog

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Remote Control Agent (PARAgent) is a CyberArk utility that can be used to monitor the status of Vault services remotely. It can also perform other tasks, such as starting and stopping the Vault, backing up and restoring the Vault, and running other utilities. The PARAgent communicates with the Remote Control Client (PARClient), which is a graphical user interface that displays the Vault status and allows the user to execute commands on the Vault. The PARAgent can also send SNMP traps to a remote terminal if the Vault service is down.

You are logging into CyberArk as the Master user to recover an orphaned safe.
Which items are required to log in as Master?

  1. Master CD, Master Password, console access to the Vault server, Private Ark Client
  2. Operator CD, Master Password, console access to the PVWA server, PVWA access
  3. Operator CD, Master Password, console access to the Vault server, Recover.exe
  4. Master CD, Master Password, console access to the PVWA server, Recover.exe

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The Master user is a predefined user that has complete control over the entire system and can manage a full recovery when necessary. To log in as the Master user, you need the following items:
Master CD: This is a physical CD that contains the Private Recovery Key, which is a file named RecPrv.key. This key is used to decrypt the Vault data and authenticate the Master user. The Master CD must be inserted into the Vault server's CD drive.
Master Password: This is a password that is set by the Master user during the initial installation of the Vault. It is used to log in to the Vault with the Master user name. The Master password can be reset by the Master user if needed.
Console access to the Vault server: This is a direct access to the Vault server machine, either physically or remotely. The Master user can only log in from the Vault server machine, not from any other client machine.
Private Ark Client: This is a graphical user interface that allows the Master user to connect to the Vault and perform various tasks, such as recovering orphaned safes, activating predefined users, and managing network areas. The Private Ark Client must be installed on the Vault server machine and configured to use PrivateArk authentication method.

Your organization requires all passwords be rotated every 90 days.
Where can you set this regulatory requirement?

  1. Master Policy
  2. Safe Templates
  3. PVWAConfig.xml
  4. Platform Configuration

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The platform configuration defines the password management settings for each type of account, such as the password complexity, rotation frequency, verification method, and reconciliation options. You can set the regulatory requirement for password rotation in the platform configuration by specifying the number of days in the Password Change Interval parameter. This parameter determines how often the CPM will change the passwords of the accounts that are associated with the platform. For example, if you set the Password Change Interval to 90, the CPM will change the passwords every 90 days.

To enable the Automatic response "Add to Pending" within PTA when unmanaged credentials are found, what are the minimum permissions required by PTAUser for the PasswordManager_pending safe?

  1. List Accounts, View Safe members, Add accounts (includes update properties), Update Account content, Update Account properties
  2. List Accounts, Add accounts (includes update properties), Delete Accounts, Manage Safe
  3. Add accounts (includes update properties), Update Account content, Update Account properties, View Audit
  4. View Accounts, Update Account content, Update Account properties, Access Safe without confirmation, Manage Safe, View Audit

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

To enable the automatic response "Add to Pending" within PTA when unmanaged credentials are found, the PTAUser needs to have the minimum permissions for the PasswordManager_pending safe as follows:
List Accounts: This permission allows the PTAUser to view the accounts in the safe and their properties.
View Safe members: This permission allows the PTAUser to view the members of the safe and their authorizations.
Add accounts (includes update properties): This permission allows the PTAUser to add new accounts to the safe and update their properties, such as name, address, platform, and policy. Update Account content: This permission allows the PTAUser to update the password of the accounts in the safe.
Update Account properties: This permission allows the PTAUser to update the properties of the existing accounts in the safe, such as name, address, platform, and policy. These permissions are required for the PTAUser to be able to detect unmanaged privileged accounts and add them to the pending accounts queue in the PasswordManager_pending safe. The PTAUser also needs to have the same permissions for the PasswordManager_reconcile safe to enable the automatic response "Reconcile credentials" for suspicious password change events.
