ACCESS-DEF Exam Dumps : CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF)

In general, authentication policies in systems like CyberArk’s may have certain behaviors:

• If a user mistypes their username, it’s possible that the system will still prompt for MFA to avoid revealing whether the username is correct or not, which can be a security measure.
• Similarly, if a user mistypes their password but has set up a mobile authenticator, the system might still send a push notification to prevent giving clues about the correctness of the password.
• It’s common for systems not to notify users of which particular challenge they failed, as this can be a security risk.
• If a security question is set up as an MFA and the user mistypes their password, the security question might not be presented, depending on the system’s configuration.
• When the first factor is a password and the user is an Active Directory user, if the Active Directory service is unavailable, the user typically cannot authenticate, and the system might display a message indicating the service is not available.

The “Provisioning” feature within a Web App connector in CyberArk Identity is used to automate the process of on-boarding and off-boarding users in third-party applications. When this feature is enabled, it allows for the automatic creation, update, and deletion of user accounts in the connected application, based on the user’s status in CyberArk Identity. This ensures that access rights are granted and revoked in a timely manner, which is crucial for maintaining security and compliance within an organization.

References: The role of the provisioning feature in automating user account management can be found in the CyberArk documentation related to the CyberArk Provisioning Connector1.

The App Gateway allows users to access on-premise applications from anywhere without a VPN. For applications that use the App Gateway, the connection from the user travels the same network pathways already in place. CyberArk Identity connects to the CyberArk Identity Connector through the firewall, which then connects to the on-premise directory service for authentication and authorization. This setup simplifies the user experience by allowing them to use the same URL to access the application whether they are on the internal network or outside the corporate network.
