NEW QUESTION # 113
Within the Vault each password is encrypted by:
- A. its own unique key
- B. the server key
- C. the recovery private key
- D. the recovery public key
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the web search results, within the Vault each password is encrypted by its own unique key. This key is generated by the Vault when the password is added to the Vault and is stored in the Vault's database.
The password key is encrypted by the safe key, which is the key of the safe that contains the password. The safe key is encrypted by the server key, which is the key that opens the Vault. The server key is encrypted by the public recovery key, which is part of the asymmetric recovery key that enables the Master User to log on to the Vault in case of a disaster. This layered encryption scheme ensures that each password is protected by multiple keys and that no single key can compromise the security of the Vault
NEW QUESTION # 114

NEW QUESTION # 121
What is required to enable access over SSH to a Unix account through both PSM and PSMP?
- A. A duplicate platform (Called) with the PSMP settings must be created.
- B. PSM and PSMP must already have stored the SSH Fingerprint for the Unix host.
- C. The platform must contain connection components for PSM-SSH and PSMP-SSH.
- D. The 'Enable PSMP' setting in the Unix platform must be set to Yes.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
To enable access over SSH to a Unix account through both Privileged Session Manager (PSM) and Privileged Session Manager Proxy (PSMP), the platform must contain the necessary connection components for both PSM-SSH and PSMP-SSH. This ensures that the system can handle SSH connections through PSM for a native user experience and through PSMP for secure, transparent connections to remote systems12.

NEW QUESTION # 122
Ad-Hoc Access (formerly Secure Connect) provides the following features. Choose all that apply.
- A. PSM connections from a terminal without the need to login to the PVWA.
- B. Real-time live session monitoring.
- C. PSM connections to target devices that are not managed by CyberArk.
- D. Session Recording.
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
Explanation
Ad-Hoc Access (formerly Secure Connect) is a feature that allows users to connect to target devices that are not managed by CyberArk through the PSM. Users can specify the address, username, and password of the target device, and select a client to launch the connection. Ad-Hoc Access sessions benefit from the standard PSM features, such as session recording, detailed auditing, and real-time live session monitoring. However, Ad-Hoc Access does not allow users to connect from a terminal without logging in to the PVWA, as this would bypass the authentication and authorization mechanisms of CyberArk. References:

NEW QUESTION # 123
When managing SSH keys, the CPM stores the Public Key
- A. On the target server
- B. A & B
- C. In the Vault
- D. Nowhere because the public key can always be generated from the private key.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
When managing SSH keys, the CPM stores the public key on the target server. The CPM generates a new random SSH key pair and updates the public SSH key on the target machine. The public SSH key is stored in the home directory of the privileged user on the target machine, usually in the file ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. The public SSH key is not stored in the Vault, as this would be redundant and unnecessary. The public SSH key cannot be generated from the private key, as this would defeat the purpose of asymmetric encryption.

NEW QUESTION # 129
In the screenshot displayed, you just configured the usage in CyberArk and want to update its password.
What is the least intrusive way to accomplish this?
- A. Use the "change" button on the parent account's details page.
- B. Use the "change" button on the usage's details page.
- C. Use the "reconcile" button on the parent account's details page.
- D. Use the "sync" button on the usage's details page.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
A usage is a configuration that allows CyberArk to manage passwords for files, such as XML or INI files, that are stored on remote machines. A usage is associated with a parent account, which is the account that has access to the file. To update the password of a usage, the least intrusive way is to use the "sync" button on the usage's details page. This will synchronize the password value between the Vault and the file, without changing the actual password. The "change" button will initiate a password change process by the CPM, which will generate a new random password for the usage and the file. The "reconcile" button will initiate a password reconcile process by the CPM, which will use a reconcile account to reset the password of the usage and the file to the value stored in the Vault.
