QuestionQ1

Infrastructure and Network Architecture

What is the PRIMARY reason to install more than 1 active CPM?

Explanation

Concurrent active CPM instances distribute automated credential-management work across the environment, increasing the overall number of target devices that CyberArk can manage. Fault tolerance instead relies on a disaster-recovery, active-passive CPM configuration.

QuestionQ2

Accounts and Safes Management

What is the purpose of the password Reconcile process?

Explanation

Password reconciliation lets CyberArk regain control of an account when its current credential is unknown, lost, or out of synchronization with the Vault. It resets the account password through a reconciliation mechanism so CyberArk can manage it again.

QuestionQ3

Vault Configuration and Management

When a DR Vault Server becomes an active vault, it will automatically fail back to its original state once the Primary Vault is back online.

Explanation

CyberArk Disaster Recovery automatic failback is enabled by setting AllowFailback to yes in the PADR.ini configuration file. It is not enabled by default, and dbparm.ini does not control this DR failback setting.

QuestionQ4

Infrastructure and Network Architecture

To prevent conflicts with the hardening process, third-party applications such as Antivirus and Backup Agents should be installed on the Vault server before installing the Vault.

Explanation

CyberArk best practice is to install the Digital Vault software and run the vault hardening process on a clean, dedicated server before installing any third-party software such as antivirus or backup agents; introducing such agents beforehand risks conflicting with the lockdown changes the hardening script makes to services, registry settings, and file permissions, so the statement describing the reverse installation order is incorrect.

QuestionQ5

Accounts and Safes Management

When a transparent user matches two separate directory mappings, how does the system decide which user template to apply?

Explanation

CyberArk applies the user template from the first matching directory mapping in the mapping list. It does not combine or intersect Vault authorizations from multiple matching templates.
