CPC-SEN Exam Dumps : CyberArk Sentry - Privilege Cloud

During the Central Policy Manager (CPM) hardening process, the locally created users that are granted 'Logon as a Service' rights in the local group policy are typically PasswordManager and PasswordManagerUser. These accounts are crucial for the CPM’s operation as they handle password management tasks and require the ability to log on as a service to perform their functions effectively. This configuration is established to ensure that these service accounts can operate under service control manager without interruption, which is critical for automated password rotations and other security processes managed by the CPM. This detail is typically outlined in the CyberArk CPM installation and configuration guide.

The correct description of the authentication differences between CyberArk Privilege Cloud and CyberArk PAM Self-Hosted is that CyberArk Privilege Cloud uses cloud-based methods, integrating with CyberArk Identity for Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and supports SAML and OIDC, while CyberArk PAM Self-Hosted relies on on-premises methods such as RADIUS and LDAP, but can adopt SAML or OIDC with additional setups. CyberArk Privilege Cloud is designed to leverage modern cloud-based authentication protocols to enhance security and ease of use, particularly in distributed and diverse IT environments. In contrast, CyberArk PAM Self-Hosted offers flexibility to use traditional on-premises authentication methods but also supports modern protocols if configured to do so.

To correctly change the default PSM recordings folder path on the Privilege Cloud Connector, the sequence of steps should be:

• Create a corresponding folder in the new location.Before making changes to configuration files, ensure the new directory for PSM recordings is created. This is where all session recordings will be stored moving forward.
• In the Basic_psm.ini file, set RecordingsDirectory with the new path.Update the Basic_psm.ini file to reflect the new path for the recordings. This step is crucial as it directs the PSM to start using the newly created directory for all future session recordings.
• Restart the PSM service.After updating the path in the configuration file, restart the PSM service to apply the changes. This ensures that all new sessions are recorded in the new specified location.
• Run the PSMHardening script.Once the service is restarted and the new settings are in place, run the PSMHardening script. This script ensures that all security measures are re-applied to the new recordings directory, maintaining the security integrity of the session recordings.

Following these steps in the given order will successfully change the recording directory for PSM sessions on the Privilege Cloud Connector, ensuring a smooth transition to the new storage location with all necessary security measures intact.
