NO.22 How many Windows and Linux servers are required for a minimal Conjur deployment that integrates with an existing CyberArk PAM Vault environment, supports high availability, and is redundant across two geographically disparate regions?

5 Linux servers, 2 Windows servers

9 Linux servers, 2 Windows servers

3 Linux servers, 1 Windows server

10 Linux servers, 2 Windows server

Explanation
This is the correct answer because a minimal Conjur deployment that integrates with an existing CyberArk PAM Vault environment, supports high availability, and is redundant across two geographically disparate regions requires the following servers:
2 Linux servers for the Conjur master cluster, one in each region. The master cluster consists of a leader and a standby node that can automatically failover in case of a leader failure. The leader node performs read/write operations on the Conjur database and policy engine, while the standby node replicates the leader data and can be promoted to leader if needed. The master cluster also hosts the Conjur UI and API endpoints.
4 Linux servers for the Conjur follower clusters, two in each region. The follower clusters consist of one or more follower nodes that perform read-only operations on the Conjur database and policy engine, such as authentication, authorization, and secret retrieval. The follower clusters are horizontally scalable and can be configured behind a load balancer to handle high volumes of requests from applications and clients. The follower clusters also host the Conjur Synchronizer service, which synchronizes secrets from the CyberArk PAM Vault to the Conjur database.
2 Linux servers for the Conjur seed fetcher service, one in each region. The seed fetcher service is a utility that runs on a separate server and periodically fetches the Conjur seed files from the master cluster and distributes them to the follower clusters. The seed files contain the configuration and encryption keys that are required to join a follower node to the Conjur cluster. The seed fetcher service ensures that the follower clusters are always updated with the latest seed files and can join the Conjur cluster without manual intervention.
2 Windows servers for the CyberArk Central Credential Provider (CCP), one in each region. The CCP is a component that provides secure and centralized credential management for applications and clients that need to access secrets from the CyberArk PAM Vault. The CCP exposes a web service interface that allows applications and clients to request credentials based on their identity and permissions. The CCP integrates with the Conjur Synchronizer service to retrieve the secrets from the Conjur database and cache them locally for faster access.
Therefore, the total number of servers required for this deployment is 9 Linux servers and 2 Windows servers. This deployment architecture is based on the Conjur documentation1 and the Conjur training course2.

NO.23 What is the correct process to upgrade the CCP Web Service?

Run “sudo yum update aimprv” from the CLI.

Double-click the Credential Provider installer executable and select upgrade.

Double-click the AimWebService.msi and select upgrade.

Uninstall and reinstall the CCP Web Service.

NO.24 You are configuring the Conjur Cluster with 3rd-party certificates.
Arrange the steps to accomplish this in the correct sequence.

NO.25 You are upgrading an HA Conjur cluster consisting of 1x Leader, 2x Standbys & 1x Follower. You stopped replication on the Standbys and Followers and took a backup of the Leader.
Arrange the steps to accomplish this in the correct sequence.

NO.26 Followers are replications of the Leader configured for which purpose?

synchronous replication to ensure that there is always an up-to-date database

asynchronous replication from the Leader which allows secret reads at scale

asynchronous replication from the Leader with read/write operations capability

synchronous replication to ensure high availability

NO.27 Which statement is correct about this message?
Message: “[number-of-deleted-rows] rows has successfully deleted “CEADBR009D Finished vacuum”?

It notes the number of records deleted from the database and does not require any action.

The user specified for Conjur does not have the appropriate permissions to retrieve the audit database (audit .db).

When audit retention was performed, the query on the Ul audit database (audit.db) generated an error.

The Vault Conjur Synchronizer successfully deleted the password objects that were marked for deletion in the PVWA.

Explanation
This is the correct answer because the message indicates that the audit retention process has successfully completed and deleted the specified number of rows from the audit database (audit.db). The audit retention process is a scheduled task that runs periodically to delete old audit records from the audit database based on the retention period configured in the Conjur UI. The audit retention process also performs a vacuum operation to reclaim the disk space and optimize the database performance. The message does not require any action from the user, as it is a normal and expected outcome of the audit retention process. This answer is based on the CyberArk Secrets Manager documentation1 and the CyberArk Secrets Manager training course2.
The other options are not correct statements about the message. The message does not imply that the user specified for Conjur does not have the appropriate permissions to retrieve the audit database, as the message is not an error or a warning, but a confirmation of the audit retention process. The user specified for Conjur is the user that is used to connect to the Conjur server and perform operations on the Conjur resources, such as roles, policies, secrets, and audit records. The user specified for Conjur needs to have the appropriate permissions to access the audit database, but the message does not indicate any problem with the user permissions.
The message does not imply that when audit retention was performed, the query on the UI audit database generated an error, as the message is not an error or a warning, but a confirmation of the audit retention process. The query on the UI audit database is the query that is used to display the audit records in the Conjur UI. The query on the UI audit database is not related to the audit retention process, which is a background task that runs on the Conjur server and deletes the old audit records from the audit database. The message does not indicate any problem with the query on the UI audit database.
The message does not imply that the Vault Conjur Synchronizer successfully deleted the password objects that were marked for deletion in the PVWA, as the message is not related to the Vault Conjur Synchronizer or the password objects. The Vault Conjur Synchronizer is a service that synchronizes secrets from the CyberArk Vault to the Conjur database. The password objects are the accounts in the CyberArk Vault that store the credentials for various platforms and devices. The message is related to the audit retention process, which deletes the old audit records from the audit database. The message does not indicate any problem or action with the Vault Conjur Synchronizer or the password objects.

NO.28 A Kubernetes application attempting to authenticate to the Follower load balancer receives this error:
ERROR: 2024/10/30 06:07:08 authenticator.go:139: CAKC029E Received invalid response to certificate signing request. Reason: status code 401 When checking the logs, you see this message:
authn-k8s/prd-cluster-01 is not enabled
How do you remediate the issue?

Check the info endpoint on each Follower behind the load balancer and enable the authenticator on the Follower.

Modify conjur.conf in /opt/conjur/etc/authenticators addinqthe authenticator webservice.

A network issue is preventing the application from reaching the Follower; correct the issue and verity that it is resolved.

Enable the authenticator in the Ul > Webservices > Authenticators > Enable and enable the appropriate authenticator webservice.

NO.29 Refer to the exhibit.
In which example will auto-failover occur?

NO.30 You have a PowerShell script that is being used on 1000 workstations. It requires a Windows Domain credential that is currently hard coded in the script.
What is the simplest solution to remove that credential from the Script?

Modify the script to use the CLI SDK to fetch the secret at runtime using Credential Providers installed on each workstation.

Modify the script to make a SOAP call to retrieve the secret from the Central Credential Provider.

Modify the script to run on WebSphere using the Application Server Credential Provider to retrieve the secret.

Use Conjur Summon to invoke the script and inject the secret at run time.

NO.31 Which statement is true for the Conjur Command Line Interface (CLI)?

It is supported on Windows, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and macOS.

It can only be run from the Conjur Leader node.

It is required for working with the Conjur REST API.

It does not implement the Conjur REST API for managing Conjur resources.

NO.32 When attempting to retrieve a credential managed by the Synchronizer, you receive this error:

What is the cause of the issue?

The Conjur Leader has lost upstream connectivity to the Vault Conjur Synchronizer.

The host does not have access to the credential.

The path to the credential was not properly encoded.

The Vault Conjur Synchronizer has crashed and needs to be restarted.

NO.33 When attempting to retrieve a credential, you receive an error 401 – Malformed Authorization Token.
What is the cause of the issue?

The token is not correctly encoded.

The token you are trying to retrieve does not exist.

The host does not have access to the credential with the current token.

The credential has not been initialized.

NO.34 You modified a Conjur host policy to change its annotations for authentication.
How should you load the policy to make those changes?

Use the default “append” method (e.g. conjur policy load <branch> <policy-file>).

Use the “replace” method (e.g. conjur policy load – -replace <branch> <policy-file>).

Use the “delete” method (e.g. conjur policy load – -delete <branch> <policy-file>).

Use the “update” method (e.g. conjur policy load – -update <branch> <policy-file>).

NO.35 When installing the Vault Conjur Synchronizer, you see this error:
Forbidden
Logon Token is Empty – Cannot logon
Unauthorized
What must you ensure to remediate the issue?

This admin user must not be logged in to other sessions during the Vault Conjur Synchronizer installation process.

You specified the correct url for Conjur and it is listed as a SAN on that url’s certificate.

You correctly URI encoded the url in the installation script.

You ran powershell as Administrator and there is sufficient space on the server on which you are running the installation.

NO.36 When attempting to configure a Follower, you receive the error:

Which port is the problem?

5432

1999

443

1858

NO.37 Arrange the steps to configure authenticators in the correct the sequence.

NO.38 Match the correct network port to its function in Conjur.

NO.39 While troubleshooting an issue with accounts not syncing to Conjur, you see this in the log file:

What could be the issue?

Connection timed out to the Vault.

Safe permissions for the LOB user are incorrect.

Connection timed out during loading policy through SDK.

At first Vault Conjur Synchronizer start up, the number of LOBs is exceeded.

NO.40 What is a main advantage of using dual accounts in password management?

Since passwords are cached for both rotation accounts, it ensures the password for an application will not be changed, reducing the amount of blackout dates when a password expires.

It ensures passwords are rotated every 90 days, which respects the expected downtime for a system, database, or application

It ensures no delays are incurred when the application needs credentials because a password that is currently used by an application will never be changed

Since there are two active accounts, it doubles the probability that a system, database, or application will successfully authenticate.

NO.41 What is the most maintenance-free way to ensure a Conjur host’s access reflects any changes made to accounts in a safe in the CyberArk vault?

Write an automation script to update and load the host’s policy using PATCH/update.

Use yami anchor [&] and wildcard (*) syntax to maintain its list of permission grants.

Grant the consumers group/role created by the Synchronizer for the Safe to the host.

Use PVWA to add the Conjur host ID as a member of the Safe.

Explanation
The most maintenance-free way to ensure a Conjur host’s access reflects any changes made to accounts in a safe in the CyberArk vault is to grant the consumers group/role created by the Synchronizer for the Safe to the host. This means that the host will inherit the read and execute permissions on all the secrets in the Safe from the consumers group/role, and will automatically get access to any new or updated secrets in the Safe without requiring any manual intervention or policy changes. The consumers group/role is created by the Vault Conjur Synchronizer, which is a service that synchronizes secrets between the CyberArk vault and Conjur. The Synchronizer creates a policy branch for each Safe in Conjur, and assigns the consumers group/role to have read and execute permissions on all the secrets in the Safe. The Synchronizer also creates a delegation policy for each Safe, which allows the Safe admins to grant permissions to other users, hosts, groups, or layers12.
The other options are not the most maintenance-free ways to ensure a Conjur host’s access reflects any changes made to accounts in a safe in the CyberArk vault. Writing an automation script to update and load the host’s policy using PATCH/update may work, but it requires additional effort and maintenance to ensure the script is always running and up to date with the changes in the Safe. Using yami anchor [&] and wildcard (*) syntax to maintain its list of permission grants may simplify the policy writing, but it still requires manual editing and loading of the policy whenever a new secret is added or removed from the Safe. Using PVWA to add the Conjur host ID as a member of the Safe may not be possible or advisable, as the PVWA is designed for managing human users and not Conjur hosts, and it may not have the necessary integration or authorization to do so3.

NO.42 When using the Seed Fetcher to deploy Kubernetes Followers, an error occurs in the Seed Fetcher container.
You check the logs and discover that although the Seed Fetcher was able to authenticate, it shows a 500 error in the log and does not successfully retrieve a seed file. What is the cause?

The certificate based on the Follower DNS name is not present on the Leader.

The host you configured does not have access to see the certificates.

The synchronizer service crashed and needs to be restarted.

The Leader does not have the authenticator webservice enabled.

NO.43 When working with Credential Providers in a Privileged Cloud setting, what is a special consideration?

If there are installation issues, troubleshooting may need to involve the Privileged Cloud support team.

Credential Providers are not supported in a Privileged Cloud setting.

The AWS Cloud account number must be defined in the file main appprovider.conf.
<platform>.<version> found in the AppProviderConf Safe.

Debug logging for Credential Providers deployed in a Privileged Cloud setting can inadvertently exhaust available disk space.

Explanation
Credential Providers are tools that enable applications to securely retrieve credentials from CyberArk Secrets Manager without hard-coding or storing them in files. Credential Providers can be installed on application servers or on a central server that acts as a proxy for multiple applications. Credential Providers can integrate with Privileged Cloud, which is a cloud-based solution that provides privileged access management as a service. Privileged Cloud integrates with Secrets Manager Credential Providers to manage application credentials as privileged accounts within Privileged Cloud.
When working with Credential Providers in a Privileged Cloud setting, a special consideration is that if there are installation issues, troubleshooting may need to involve the Privileged Cloud support team. This is because the installation of Credential Providers in a Privileged Cloud setting requires some additional steps and configurations that are performed by the Privileged Cloud support team. For example, the Privileged Cloud support team needs to configure the connection between Privileged Cloud and Credential Providers, and provide the necessary certificates and keys for secure communication. Therefore, if there are any problems or errors during the installation process, the Privileged Cloud support team may need to assist with the troubleshooting and resolution.
The other options are not correct. Credential Providers are supported in a Privileged Cloud setting, as described in the Secrets Manager Credential Providers integration documentation1. The AWS Cloud account number does not need to be defined in the file main appprovider.conf.<platform>.<version> found in the AppProviderConf Safe. This file is used to configure the Credential Provider settings, such as the Privileged Cloud URL, the application ID, and the SSL options. The AWS Cloud account number is not relevant for this file. Debug logging for Credential Providers deployed in a Privileged Cloud setting can be enabled or disabled by the Privileged Cloud support team, as described in the Credential Provider installation documentation2.
Debug logging can help with troubleshooting and diagnostics, but it does not necessarily exhaust available disk space, as the log files can be rotated and archived.
