  1. What does the 'Transparent Mode' in PSM mean for the end user experience?

    Answer: The user connects directly to the target system without seeing an intermediate PSM desktop

    In Transparent Mode, PSM proxies the connection invisibly so the user interacts directly with the target application window without a visible PSM intermediary desktop.

  2. Which log file on the PSM server is the primary source for troubleshooting failed session launches?

    Answer: PSMConsole.log

    PSMConsole.log records Dispatcher activity, connection component execution, and error details that are essential for diagnosing session launch failures.

  3. A user tries to initiate a PSM session but receives 'No recording disk space available.' What should the administrator check first?

    Answer: Free disk space on the PSM server's recordings temporary directory

    PSM writes session recordings to a local temporary directory before uploading them to the Vault; insufficient disk space on that directory blocks new sessions.

  4. Which parameter in the PSM configuration specifies the Vault address that PSM connects to for credential retrieval?

    Answer: VaultFile (vault.ini) configured during PSM installation

    The vault.ini file (VaultFile), configured during PSM setup, contains the Vault's address and is referenced by PSM at runtime to locate the Vault.

  5. What is the function of the PSM for Web Sessions (HTML5 Gateway) capability?

    Answer: It allows privileged web application sessions to be proxied and recorded without installing the CyberArk client on the user's machine

    The HTML5 Gateway allows users to launch and record browser-based privileged sessions entirely through the browser, eliminating the need for a local RDP client or CyberArk client software.

  6. When a PSM Connection Component is configured with 'AllowSelectHTML5' set to Yes, what does this enable?

    Answer: Users can choose between launching the session via native RDP client or through the HTML5 browser-based gateway

    AllowSelectHTML5=Yes presents the user with a choice to launch the session using either their native RDP client or the HTML5 browser-based gateway.

  7. Which of the following best describes the PSM server's role in the CyberArk Privileged Access Security solution architecture?

    Answer: It acts as a secure proxy that brokers privileged sessions without exposing credentials to end users

    PSM is a session proxy that injects credentials into connections on behalf of users so users never see or possess the actual privileged credentials.
