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

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.

In the context of web application connectors:

• OpenID Connect is an identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, which allows for the secure issuance of access tokens representing user identity. It relies on JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) for the identity information of the users, which enables client applications to verify the identity of the end-user based on the authentication performed by an Authorization Server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the end-user in an interoperable and REST-like manner.
• Bookmark is a simple type of web app connector that doesn't provide single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. Instead, it acts as a shortcut, allowing users to quickly access web applications or URLs without requiring any form of automated authentication.
• Browser Extension refers to a tool that automates the process of entering a user's credentials into applications that do not support standard SSO protocols. The extension can store the username and password and automatically input these details when the user navigates to the login page of a web application, effectively simulating an SSO experience for non-SSO applications.
