Question 1

What happens if the CyberArk Vault's system clock drifts significantly from other components during setup?

Accepted Answer

Authentication failures occur due to Kerberos and certificate timestamp mismatches

Answer

Clock drift causes authentication failures because Kerberos tickets and TLS certificates are time-sensitive, requiring all components to be NTP-synchronized.

Question 2

During CyberArk installation, what is the purpose of the 'Vault.ini' parameter 'AllowNonStandardFWAddresses'?

Accepted Answer

It permits Vault access from IP ranges outside the default firewall ruleset

Answer

AllowNonStandardFWAddresses lets administrators specify IP ranges that are permitted to connect to the Vault beyond the built-in default firewall rules.

Question 3

Which CyberArk setup step must occur before the LDAP/AD integration can be used for user authentication?

Accepted Answer

Configuring the LDAP integration in PVWA and binding with a service account

Answer

LDAP/AD integration requires configuring the directory settings in PVWA including specifying the LDAP server, binding with a service account, and mapping user attributes.

Question 4

What is the role of the CyberArk 'Credential Provider' (CP) component installed on application servers?

Accepted Answer

It allows applications to retrieve credentials from the Vault without storing them locally

Answer

The Credential Provider allows applications to fetch secrets from the Vault at runtime using the AIM SDK or REST, eliminating hard-coded credentials in application configs.

Question 5

During PSM setup, what Windows configuration is required on the PSM server for session isolation?

Accepted Answer

Remote Desktop Services (RDS) must be installed and configured in Session Host mode

Answer

PSM relies on Windows Remote Desktop Services in Session Host mode to create isolated user sessions for each proxied privileged connection.
