Important CyberArk CPC-SEN Exam Questions

Answer: B

Explanation:

In CyberArk Privilege Cloud, when connecting to a target server using the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) for SSH, the correct syntax for the SSH command includes the following format: ssh neil@linuxuser01#acme.corp@192.168.1.164@192.168.65.145. This syntax breaks down as follows:

neil: The CyberArk username.

linuxuser01#acme.corp: The domain user on the target Linux server, formatted as username#domain.

192.168.1.164: The IP address of the target Linux server.

192.168.65.145: The IP address of the PSM for SSH server.

This specific format ensures that the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager correctly interprets and routes the connection through the PSM for SSH to the intended target server.

CyberArk Security Fundamentals

Answer: B, D

Explanation:

To update or change the Central Policy Manager (CPM) credentials, dependencies include:

CreateCredFile.exe (B): This utility is used to create or modify the encrypted file that stores the CPM's credentials. It is essential for securely handling the credential updates.

CyberArk.TPC.exe (D): This executable is part of the CyberArk suite that manages trusted platform module operations, which can include tasks related to credential security and management, particularly when hardware security modules are involved.

Answer: A

Explanation:

To allow a PSM Universal Connector executable to run on the PSM after the hardening process, you should update the PSMConfigureAppLocker.xml file. This file configures AppLocker, which is a feature that controls which apps and files users can run on a system. Including the necessary executable in the PSMConfigureAppLocker.xml ensures it is whitelisted by AppLocker policies, thus permitted to execute even under the hardened security settings of the PSM environment. Reference to this configuration can be found in the CyberArk Privilege Session Manager implementation documentation, specifically in sections detailing customization and security hardening of environment configurations.

Answer: A

Explanation:

When installing the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) on multiple servers, it is required that each PSM installation has the same path to the same recordings directory. This is necessary to ensure that session recordings are stored consistently across different PSM instances, which is important for high availability and load balancing implementations, as well as for maintaining a unified audit trail.

Answer: A

Explanation:

After the successful scripted installation of the Privileged Session Manager (PSM), one of the post-installation tasks is to disable the screen saver for the PSM local users. This is done to ensure that the PSMConnect and PSMAdminConnect users, which are created during the installation process, do not have a screen saver activated that could interfere with the operation of the PSM.
