You are deploying Kubernetes resources/objects as Conjur identities.
In addition to Namespace and Deployment, from which options can you choose? (Choose two.)
- A. ServiceAccount
- B. Replica sets
- C. StatefulSet
- D. Tokenreviews
- E. Secrets
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Explanation
ServiceAccount and StatefulSet are two of the Kubernetes resources/objects that can be used as Conjur identities, in addition to Namespace and Deployment. Conjur identities are the entities that can authenticate with Conjur and retrieve secrets from it. Conjur supports authenticating Kubernetes resources/objects using the Conjur Kubernetes Authenticator, which is a sidecar or init container that runs alongside the application container and injects the Conjur access token into a shared volume. The application container can then use the access token to fetch secrets from Conjur.
A ServiceAccount is a Kubernetes resource that represents an identity for processes that run in a pod.
ServiceAccounts can be used to grant specific privileges and permissions to the pod, and to enable communication with the Kubernetes API server. A ServiceAccount can be used as a Conjur identity by annotating it with the Conjur authentication policy branch ID, and by creating a Conjur host entity that matches the ServiceAccount name and namespace. The Conjur Kubernetes Authenticator will then use the ServiceAccount token to authenticate the pod with Conjur and obtain the Conjur access token.
A StatefulSet is a Kubernetes resource that manages the deployment and scaling of a set of pods, and provides guarantees about the ordering and uniqueness of these pods. StatefulSets are useful for applications that require stable and persistent identities, such as databases, message brokers, or distributed systems. A StatefulSet can be used as a Conjur identity by annotating it with the Conjur authentication policy branch ID, and by creating a Conjur host entity that matches the StatefulSet name and namespace. The Conjur Kubernetes Authenticator will then use the pod name and namespace to authenticate the pod with Conjur and obtain the Conjur access token.
The other options are not valid Kubernetes resources/objects that can be used as Conjur identities. Replica sets are a lower-level resource that are usually managed by higher-level resources such as Deployments or StatefulSets, and do not have their own identity or annotations. Secrets are a Kubernetes resource that store sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, or keys, and are not meant to be used as identities.
Tokenreviews are a Kubernetes resource that are used to verify the validity of a ServiceAccount token, and are not meant to be used as identities either. References:

NEW QUESTION # 34
If you rename an account or Safe, the Vault Conjur Synchronizer recreates these accounts and safes with their new name and deletes the old accounts or safes.
What does this mean?
- A. The Vault-Conjur Synchronizer will recreate these accounts and safes with their exact same names.
- B. Their permissions in Coniur remain the same.
- C. You can not rename an account or safe.
- D. Their permissions in Coniur must also be recreated to access them.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
When an account or Safe is renamed in the Vault, the Vault Conjur Synchronizer will create new variables in Conjur with the new name and delete the old variables with the old name. This means that the permissions that were granted to the old variables in Conjur will not apply to the new variables, and they will need to be recreated using delegation policies. Otherwise, the users or hosts that had access to the old variables will not be able to access the new ones.

NEW QUESTION # 35
When installing the CCP and configuring it for use behind a load balancer, which authentication methods may be affected? (Choose two.)
- A. [Client Certificate authentication
- B. Hash
- C. Allowed Machines authentication
- D. OS User
- E. Path
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Explanation
The CCP (Central Credential Provider) is a tool that enables applications to securely retrieve credentials from CyberArk Secrets Manager without hard-coding or storing them in files. The CCP can be installed on a single server or on multiple servers behind a load balancer for high availability and scalability. The load balancer is a device or service that distributes the network traffic among the CCP servers based on predefined rules and criteria.
The CCP supports multiple methods to authenticate applications, such as Allowed Machines, Client Certificate, OS User, Path, and Hash. These methods are based on registering information in the Vault with the unique application ID. For more information about the supported authentication methods, see Application authentication methods1.
When installing the CCP and configuring it for use behind a load balancer, some authentication methods may be affected by the load balancer's behavior and settings. Specifically, the following authentication methods may be affected:
Allowed Machines authentication: This method authenticates applications based on their IP address or hostname. If the load balancer replaces the source IP or hostname of the routed packets with its own IP or hostname, the CCP will not be able to authenticate the application that initiated the credential request.
To enable the CCP to resolve the IP or hostname of the application, the load balancer needs to be configured as a transparent proxy or to attach the X-Forwarded-For header to the routed packets. For more information, see Load balance the Central Credential Provider2.
Client Certificate authentication: This method authenticates applications based on their client certificate that is signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA). The client certificate is used to establish a secure and trusted connection between the application and the CCP. If the load balancer terminates the SSL connection before proxying the traffic to the CCP, the CCP will not be able to verify the client certificate of the application. To enable the CCP to validate the client certificate, the load balancer needs to be configured as a pass-through proxy or to forward the client certificate to the CCP. For more information, see Load balance the Central Credential Provider2.
The other authentication methods are not affected by the load balancer, as they do not rely on the IP, hostname, or certificate of the application. For example, the OS User method authenticates applications based on their Windows domain user, the Path method authenticates applications based on their URL path, and the Hash method authenticates applications based on a hash value that is generated from the application ID and a shared secret. These methods do not require any special configuration on the load balancer or the CCP.
NEW QUESTION # 36
A customer wants to ensure applications can retrieve secrets from Conjur in three different data centers if the Conjur Leader becomes unavailable. Conjur Followers are already deployed in each of these data centers.
How should you architect the solution to support this requirement?
- A. Extend the auto failover cluster to include Standby in each data center and allow for automatic recovery should the Leader become unavailable.
- B. No changes are required.
- C. Deploy a CP provider on the Follower server to provide offline caching capabilities for the Follower.
- D. Deploy a Standby in each data center that can be promoted to the role of Leader.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Explanation
Conjur Followers are read-only replicas of the Leader that can serve client requests for authentication, authorization, and secret retrieval. However, Followers cannot perform write operations, such as creating or updating secrets, policies, or roles. If the Leader becomes unavailable, the Followers will not be able to sync with the latest data and will eventually become stale. To ensure high availability and data consistency, the customer should extend the auto-failover cluster to include Standbys in each data center. Standbys are also replicas of the Leader, but they can participate in replication and promotion. One Standby is configured for synchronous replication, which means it receives the same updates as the Leader at the same time. The other Standbys are configured for asynchronous replication, which means they receive updates from the Leader periodically, but not in real time. In case of Leader failure, the synchronous Standby can be automatically promoted to become the new Leader, and one of the asynchronous Standbys can become the new synchronous Standby. This way, the customer can ensure that there is always an up-to-date Leader that can serve write requests and sync with the Followers in different data centers.

NEW QUESTION # 37
A customer requires high availability in its AWS cloud infrastructure.
What is the minimally viable Conjur deployment architecture to achieve this?
- A. two Followers in each region, load balanced across all regions
- B. two Followers in each region, load balanced for the region
- C. two Followers in each AZ. load balanced for the region
- D. one Follower in each AZ. load balancer for the region
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the CyberArk Sentry Secrets Manager documentation, Conjur is a secrets management solution that consists of a leader node and one or more follower nodes. The leader node is responsible for managing the secrets, policies, and audit records, while the follower nodes are read-only replicas that can serve secrets requests from applications. To achieve high availability in AWS cloud infrastructure, the minimally viable Conjur deployment architecture is to have one follower in each availability zone (AZ) and a load balancer for the region. This way, if one AZ fails, the applications can still access secrets from another AZ through the load balancer. Having two followers in each region, load balanced for the region, is not enough to ensure high availability, as a regional outage can affect both followers. Having two followers in each AZ, load balanced for the region, is more than necessary, as one follower per AZ can handle the secrets requests. Having two followers in each region, load balanced across all regions, is not feasible, as Conjur does not support cross-region replication.

NEW QUESTION # 38
While installing the first CP in an environment, errors that occurred when the environment was created are displayed; however, the installation procedure continued and finished successfully.
What should you do?
- A. Run setup.exe again and select 'Recreate Vault Environment'. Provide the details of a user with more privileges when prompted by the installer.
- B. Continue configuring the application to use the CP. No further action is needed since the successful installation makes the error message benign.
- C. Review the PV WA lags to determine which REST API call used during the installation failed.
- D. Review the lag file 'CreateEnv.loq' and investigate any error messages it contains.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
B: Review the log file 'CreateEnv.log' and investigate any error messages it contains.
This is the best option because the CreateEnv.log file records the steps and results of creating the CP environment in the Vault during the installation. The CP environment includes the safe, the provider user, the application user, and the application identity. If any errors occurred when creating the CP environment, they will be logged in this file and may indicate a problem with the Vault connection, the credential file, the permissions, or the configuration. Reviewing the log file can help to identify and resolve the root cause of the errors and ensure the CP environment is properly set up.
Continuing configuring the application to use the CP without further action is not a good option because it may lead to unexpected or inconsistent behavior of the CP or the application. The errors that occurred when creating the CP environment may affect the security, availability, or integrity of the credentials or the application. Ignoring the errors may also make it harder to troubleshoot or fix them later.
Running setup.exe again and selecting 'Recreate Vault Environment' is not a good option because it may overwrite or delete the existing CP environment and cause more errors or conflicts. Recreating the Vault environment should only be done after reviewing the log file and understanding the cause of the errors.
Moreover, recreating the Vault environment may require more privileges than creating it for the first time, as some objects may be already in use or locked.
Reviewing the PVWA logs to determine which REST API call used during the installation failed is not a good option because it may not provide enough information or context to understand or resolve the errors. The PVWA logs may show the HTTP status codes or messages of the REST API calls, but they may not show the details or parameters of the calls or the responses. The PVWA logs may also contain other unrelated or irrelevant entries that may confuse or distract from the errors. The CreateEnv.log file is a more specific and reliable source of information for the errors that occurred when creating the CP environment.
NEW QUESTION # 39
After manually failing over to your disaster recovery site (Site B) for testing purposes, you need to failback to your primary site (Site A).
Which step is required?
- A. Trigger autofailover to promote the Standby in Site A to Leader.
- B. Generate a seed for the new Leader to be deployed in Site A.
- C. Contact CyberArk for a new license file.
- D. Reconfigure the Vault Conjur Synchronizer to point to the new Conjur Leader.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
According to the CyberArk Sentry Secrets Manager documentation1, the steps to failback to the primary site after a manual failover to the disaster recovery site are as follows:
On the DR site, stop the Conjur Leader node using the command docker stop <container-name>.
On the primary site, generate a seed for the new Leader node using the command evoke seed leader
<new-leader-fqdn>. This will create a file named <new-leader-fqdn>.tar in the current directory.
On the primary site, copy the Leader seed file to the new Leader server using the command scp
<new-leader-fqdn>.tar <new-leader-fqdn>:<new-leader-fqdn>.tar
On the new Leader server, create a new container using the same name as the one you just stopped, and load the Leader seed file using the command docker run --name <container-name> -d --restart=always
-v /var/log/conjur:/var/log/conjur -v /opt/conjur/backup:/opt/conjur/backup -p "443:443" -p "5432:5432"
-p "1999:1999" cyberark/conjur:latest seed fetch <new-leader-fqdn> <new-leader-fqdn>.tar On the new Leader server, configure the Conjur Leader node using the command evoke configure leader
-h <new-leader-fqdn> -p <admin-password>
On the new Leader server, reconfigure the Vault Conjur Synchronizer to point to the new Conjur Leader using the command evoke vault sync set <vault-fqdn> <vault-user> <vault-password> <conjur-fqdn>
<conjur-account> <conjur-user> <conjur-password>
On the DR site, generate a seed for the new Standby node using the command evoke seed standby
<new-standby-fqdn>. This will create a file named <new-standby-fqdn>.tar in the current directory.
On the DR site, copy the Standby seed file to the new Standby server using the command scp
<new-standby-fqdn>.tar <new-standby-fqdn>:<new-standby-fqdn>.tar
On the new Standby server, create a new container using the same name as the one you just stopped, and load the Standby seed file using the command docker run --name <container-name> -d --restart=always
-v /var/log/conjur:/var/log/conjur -v /opt/conjur/backup:/opt/conjur/backup -p "443:443" -p "5432:5432"
-p "1999:1999" cyberark/conjur:latest seed fetch <new-leader-fqdn> <new-standby-fqdn>.tar On the new Standby server, re-enroll the node to the cluster using the command evoke cluster enroll
<new-standby-fqdn>
The other options are not correct, as they are either unnecessary or incorrect. Contacting CyberArk for a new license file is not required, as the license is valid for both sites. Reconfiguring the Vault Conjur Synchronizer to point to the new Conjur Leader is a step that should be done on the new Leader server, not on the DR site.
Triggering autofailover to promote the Standby in Site A to Leader is not possible, as the Standby node is not aware of the manual failover and will not accept the promotion request.
NEW QUESTION # 40
Arrange the manual failover configuration steps in the correct sequence.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation
In the event of a Leader failure, you can perform a manual failover to promote one of the Standbys to be the new Leader. The manual failover process consists of the following steps:
Suspend replication for all Standbys and Followers and identify the best failover candidate. This step ensures that no data is lost or corrupted during the failover process. The best failover candidate is the Standby with the most advanced replication timeline, which means it has the most up-to-date data from the Leader.
Promote the failover candidate to be the new Leader. This step changes the role of the failover candidate from a Standby to a Leader, and updates its configuration accordingly. The new Leader can now accept write requests from clients and replicate data to other nodes.
Restore replication. This step re-establishes the replication connections between the new Leader and the other nodes, and rebases the replication of the other Standbys and Followers to the new Leader. This ensures that all nodes have the same data and are in sync with the new Leader.

NEW QUESTION # 41
When attempting to retrieve a credential, you receive an error 401 - Malformed Authorization Token.
What is the cause of the issue?
- A. The host does not have access to the credential with the current token.
- B. The credential has not been initialized.
- C. The token is not correctly encoded.
- D. The token you are trying to retrieve does not exist.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
= The cause of the issue is that the token is not correctly encoded. A token is a string of characters that represents a credential or an authorization grant for accessing a resource. A token must be encoded according to a specific format and standard, such as Base64, JSON Web Token (JWT), or OAuth 2.0. If the token is malformed, meaning that it does not follow the expected format or standard, the server will reject the token and return an error 401 - Malformed Authorization Token. This error indicates that the token is invalid or expired, and the request is unauthorized. To resolve the issue, the token must be regenerated or refreshed using the correct encoding method and parameters12.

NEW QUESTION # 42
What is a main advantage of using dual accounts in password management?
- A. 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.
- B. Since there are two active accounts, it doubles the probability that a system, database, or application will successfully authenticate.
- C. 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
- D. It ensures passwords are rotated every 90 days, which respects the expected downtime for a system, database, or application
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Dual accounts is a password management method that uses two accounts with identical privileges to access a system, database, or application. One account is active and the other is inactive at any given time. The active account remains untouched during password rotation, while the inactive account has its password changed after a grace period. This way, the application can always use the active account without experiencing any delays or errors due to password expiration or change. The advantage of using dual accounts is that it ensures business continuity and seamless access to the target resource, especially for high load and critical applications. References: Manage Dual Accounts, Configure dual accounts
NEW QUESTION # 43
In the event of a failover of the Vault server from the primary to the DR, which configuration option ensures that a CP will continue being able to refresh its cache?
- A. In the Conjur UI, add the IP address of the DR Vault in the Disaster Recovery section under Cluster Config > Credential Provider > Options.
- B. Add the DR Vault IP address to the "Address" parameter in the file main_appprovider.conf.
<platform>.<version> found in the AppProviderConf safe. - C. In the Password Vault Web Access UI, add the IP address of the DR Vault in the Disaster Recovery section under Applications > Options.
- D. Add the IP address of the DR vault to the "Address" parameter in the file Vault.ini.file on the machine on which the CP is installed.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
This is the correct answer because the Vault.ini file on the CP machine contains the configuration settings for the CP to connect to the Vault server. The Address parameter specifies the IP address or hostname of the Vault server that the CP will use to communicate with the Vault. In the event of a failover of the Vault server from the primary to the DR, the CP needs to update the Address parameter with the IP address of the DR Vault server in order to continue being able to refresh its cache. The cache is a local storage of credentials that the CP retrieves from the Vault and provides to the applications. The cache is refreshed periodically based on the RefreshInterval parameter in the Vault.ini file. This answer is based on the CyberArk Secrets Manager documentation1 and the CyberArk Secrets Manager training course2.
The other options are not correct because they do not ensure that the CP will continue being able to refresh its cache in the event of a failover of the Vault server from the primary to the DR. Adding the DR Vault IP address to the Address parameter in the main_appprovider.conf.<platform>.<version> file in the AppProviderConf safe is not a valid option, as this file does not contain the Address parameter. The main_appprovider.conf file contains the configuration settings for the basic provider, such as the AppProviderVaultParmsFile, the AppProviderPort, and the AppProviderCacheMode. The Address parameter is only found in the Vault.ini file on the CP machine.
In the Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) UI, adding the IP address of the DR Vault in the Disaster Recovery section under Applications > Options is not a valid option, as this section does not exist in the PVWA UI. The PVWA UI does not have a Disaster Recovery section under Applications > Options. The PVWA UI has a Disaster Recovery section under Administration > Options, but this section is used to configure the DR Vault settings, such as the DR Vault IP address, the DR Vault user, and the DR Vault password. These settings are not related to the CP configuration or cache refresh.
In the Conjur UI, adding the IP address of the DR Vault in the Disaster Recovery section under Cluster Config
> Credential Provider > Options is not a valid option, as this section does not exist in the Conjur UI. The Conjur UI does not have a Cluster Config, Credential Provider, or Options section. The Conjur UI has a Cluster Config section under Settings, but this section is used to configure the Conjur cluster settings, such as the master IP address, the follower IP address, and the seed fetcher IP address. These settings are not related to the CP configuration or cache refresh.
NEW QUESTION # 44
An application is having authentication issues when trying to securely retrieve credential's from the Vault using the CCP webservices RESTAPI. CyberArk Support advised that further debugging should be enabled on the CCP server to output a trace file to review detailed logs to help isolate the problem.
What best describes how to enable debug for CCP?
- A. From the command line, run appprvmgr.exe update_config logging=debug.
- B. In the PVWA, go to the Applications tab, select the Application in question, go to Options > Logging and choose Debug.
- C. Edit web.config. change the "AIMWebServiceTrace" value, restart Windows Web Server (IIS)
- D. Edit the basic_appprovider.conf, change the "AIMWebServiceTrace" value, and restart the provider.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
The best way to enable debug for CCP is to edit the web.config file in the AIMWebService folder and change the value of the AIMWebServiceTrace parameter to 4, which is the verbose level. This will generate detailed logs in the AIMWSTrace.log file in the logs folder. The logs folder may need to be created manually and given the appropriate permissions for the IIS_IUSRS group. After changing the web.config file, the Windows Web Server (IIS) service needs to be restarted to apply the changes. This method is recommended by CyberArk Support and documented in the CyberArk Knowledge Base1.
Editing the basic_appprovider.conf file and changing the AIMWebServiceTrace value is not a valid option, as this parameter does not exist in this file. The basic_appprovider.conf file is used to configure the basic provider settings, such as the AppProviderVaultParmsFile, the AppProviderPort, and the AppProviderCacheMode. The AIMWebServiceTrace parameter is only found in the web.config file of the AIMWebService.
In the PVWA, going to the Applications tab, selecting the Application in question, and going to Options > Logging and choosing Debug is not a valid option, as this will only enable debug for the Application Identity Manager (AIM) component, not the CCP component. The AIM component is used to manage the application identities and their access to the Vault. The CCP component is used to provide secure retrieval of credentials from the Vault using web services. Enabling debug for AIM will generate logs in the APPconsole.log, APPtrace.log, and APPaudit.log files in the ApplicationPasswordProvider\Logs folder, but these logs will not help to troubleshoot the CCP authentication issues.
From the command line, running appprvmgr.exe update_config logging=debug is not a valid option, as this will only enable debug for the Application Provider Manager (APM) component, not the CCP component. The APM component is used to manage the configuration and operation of the providers, such as the basic provider, the LDAP provider, and the ENE provider. Running appprvmgr.exe update_config logging=debug will generate logs in the appprvmgr.log file in the ApplicationPasswordProvider\Logs folder, but these logs will not help to troubleshoot the CCP authentication issues.

NEW QUESTION # 45
Findings were obtained after cataloging pending Secrets Manager use cases.
Arrange the findings in the correct order for prioritization.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct order for prioritization of the findings is as follows:
A new vulnerability scanner project is nearing completion and is expected to go into production soon.
This scanner is owned by the Security Team that owns CyberArk. This finding should be prioritized first because it has the highest urgency, feasibility, and alignment with the Security Team's goals. The vulnerability scanner is a critical security tool that needs to protect its credentials from unauthorized access. The Security Team can leverage their own expertise and authority to implement the Secrets Manager solution for this project without much delay or dependency.
A large, high performance application under PCI DSS regulation will require many CPs. This will require a license purchase. The procurement process can take 6-12 months. The development team is eager to work with Security on this project. This finding should be prioritized second because it has a high impact, compliance requirement, and stakeholder support. The application handles sensitive payment card data that needs to be secured by the Secrets Manager solution. The development team is willing to collaborate with the Security Team on this project and can help with the technical aspects of the implementation. However, this finding also has a high cost and a long lead time due to the license purchase and the procurement process.
A small, internally developed application under HIPPA regulation needs updates to the application code to retrieve secrets from a Secrets Manager solution. The development team stated they cannot accommodate this work before next quarter. This finding should be prioritized third because it has a moderate impact, compliance requirement, and feasibility. The application handles protected health information that needs to be secured by the Secrets Manager solution. The development team is aware of the need to update the application code to integrate with the Secrets Manager solution, but they have other priorities and constraints that prevent them from doing so in the near term.
Here's the reasoning behind this order:
1. New vulnerability scanner project:
This project directly impacts CyberArk's Security Team, making it a high priority due to potential internal security concerns. Additionally, its near-completion state suggests a quicker implementation timeframe.
2. Large application under PCI DSS:
While this application requires significant resources and time investment due to license purchase and development, its high performance and PCI DSS regulation compliance mandate prioritization. Delaying this project could potentially lead to security vulnerabilities and compliance issues.
3. Small application under HIPAA:
Although HIPAA regulation necessitates compliance, the application's size and development team's delay request suggest a lower priority compared to the previous two projects. However, it should still be addressed within the next quarter as mandated by the development team.
NEW QUESTION # 46
Which API endpoint can be used to discover secrets inside of Conjur?
- A. Roles
- B. WhoAmi
- C. Policies
- D. Resources
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
Conjur is a secrets management solution that securely stores and manages secrets and credentials used by applications, DevOps tools, and other systems. Conjur provides a REST API that enables users to perform various operations on Conjur objects, such as secrets, policies, roles, and resources. The API endpoint for each Conjur object is composed of the base URL of the Conjur server, followed by the object type and identifier.
For example, the API endpoint for a secret named db-password in the dev/my-app policy is:
https://<conjur-server>/secrets/dev/my-app/db-password
To discover secrets inside of Conjur, the API endpoint that can be used is Resources. Resources are Conjur objects that have permissions and annotations associated with them, such as secrets, hosts, groups, and layers.
The Resources API endpoint allows users to list, search, and filter resources based on various criteria, such as kind, owner, policy, and annotation. For example, the following API request will return a list of all secrets owned by the user alice:
https://<conjur-server>/resources?kind=variable&owner=user:alice
The Resources API endpoint can help users to discover secrets inside of Conjur by providing information such as the name, ID, policy, owner, and annotations of each secret. Users can also use the Resources API endpoint to check the permissions and audit records of each secret, and to retrieve the secret value if they have the read permission.

NEW QUESTION # 47
When an application is retrieving a credential from Conjur, the application authenticates to Follower A.
Follower B receives the next request to retrieve the credential.
What happens next?
- A. The Coniur Token is stateful and Follower B is unable to validate the Token promptinq the application to re-authenticate.
- B. The Coniur Token is stateful and Follower B redirects the request to Follower A to satisfy the request.
- C. The Coryur Token is stateless and Follower B redirects the request to Follower A to satisfy the request.
- D. The Coniur Token is stateless and Follower B is able to validate the Token and satisfy the request.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
This is the correct answer because the Conjur Token is a JSON Web Token (JWT) that is signed by the Conjur master and contains the identity and permissions of the application. The Conjur Token is stateless, meaning that it does not depend on any stored session or transaction information on the server side. Therefore, any Conjur follower can validate the Token by verifying the signature and the expiration time, and satisfy the request by retrieving the credential from the local database. This allows the Conjur followers to be horizontally scalable and load balanced, and to provide high availability and performance for the applications. This answer is based on the Conjur documentation1 and the Conjur training course2.

NEW QUESTION # 49
When attempting to configure a Follower, you receive the error:
Which port is the problem?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The error message "psql: server closed the connection unexpectedly" means that the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. This is likely due to the Leader Load Balancer not being available on the port and replication cannot be established. The port that is the problem is 5432, which is the default port for PostgreSQL database connections. The Follower needs to connect to the Leader Load Balancer on this port to receive the replication data from the Leader. If the port is blocked or unreachable, the Follower will fail to sync with the Leader and display the error message. References: [Set up Follower], [Troubleshoot Follower]
NEW QUESTION # 50
During the configuration of Conjur, what is a possible deployment scenario?
- A. The Leader and Followers are deployed outside of a Kubernetes environment; Slandbys can run inside a Kubernetes environment.
- B. The Conjur Leader cluster and Followers are deployed inside a Kubernetes environment.
- C. The Leader cluster is deployed outside a Kubernetes environment; Followers and Standbys can run inside or outside the environment.
- D. The Conjur Leader cluster is deployed outside of a Kubernetes environment; Followers can run inside or outside the environment.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Conjur is a secrets management solution that securely stores and manages secrets and credentials used by applications, DevOps tools, and other systems. Conjur can be deployed in different scenarios, depending on the needs and preferences of the organization. One of the possible deployment scenarios is to deploy the Leader cluster outside a Kubernetes environment, and the Followers and Standbys inside or outside the environment.
The Leader cluster is the primary node that handles all write operations and coordinates the replication of data to the Follower and Standby nodes. The Leader cluster consists of one active Leader node and one or more Standby nodes that can be promoted to Leader in case of a failure. The Leader cluster can be deployed outside a Kubernetes environment, such as on a virtual machine or a physical server, using Docker or other installation methods. This can provide more control and flexibility over the configuration and management of the Leader cluster, as well as better performance and security.
The Follower and Standby nodes are read-only replicas of the Leader node that can serve requests from clients and applications that need to retrieve secrets or perform other read-only operations. The Follower and Standby nodes can be deployed inside or outside a Kubernetes environment, depending on the use case and the availability requirements. For example, if the clients and applications are running inside a Kubernetes cluster, it may be convenient and efficient to deploy the Follower and Standby nodes inside the same cluster, using Helm charts or other methods. This can reduce the network latency and complexity, and leverage the Kubernetes features such as service discovery, load balancing, and health checks. Alternatively, if the clients and applications are running outside a Kubernetes cluster, or if there is a need to distribute the Follower and Standby nodes across different regions or availability zones, it may be preferable to deploy the Follower and Standby nodes outside the Kubernetes cluster, using Docker or other methods. This can provide more scalability and resiliency, and avoid the dependency on the Kubernetes cluster.

NEW QUESTION # 51
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?
- A. You specified the correct url for Conjur and it is listed as a SAN on that url's certificate.
- B. This admin user must not be logged in to other sessions during the Vault Conjur Synchronizer installation process.
- C. You ran powershell as Administrator and there is sufficient space on the server on which you are running the installation.
- D. You correctly URI encoded the url in the installation script.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation
= This error occurs when the Vault Conjur Synchronizer installation script tries to log in to the Vault using the admin user credentials, but the admin user is already logged in to other sessions. The Vault has a limit on the number of concurrent sessions per user, and the default value is one. Therefore, the installation script fails to authenticate the admin user and returns the error message: Forbidden Logon Token is Empty - Cannot logon Unauthorized. To remediate the issue, the admin user must log out of any other sessions before running the installation script, or increase the limit on the number of concurrent sessions per user in the Vault configuration file12.

NEW QUESTION # 52
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?
- A. 10 Linux servers, 2 Windows server
- B. 5 Linux servers, 2 Windows servers
- C. 3 Linux servers, 1 Windows server
- D. 9 Linux servers, 2 Windows servers
Answer: D
Explanation:
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.
NEW QUESTION # 53
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.
Answer:
Explanation:
Explanation
To upgrade an HA Conjur cluster, you need to follow these steps:
Stop and rename the Conjur Leader container and then start the new Leader. This step ensures that you have a backup of the old Leader container in case something goes wrong with the upgrade. You also need to specify the hostname and master-altnames parameters when starting the new Leader container to match the load balancer and the cluster nodes.
Restore the Leader from backup. This step restores the data and configuration from the old Leader to the new Leader. You need to use the evoke restore command with the backup file name and the account name as arguments.
Redeploy to the Standbys. This step upgrades the Standbys to the same version as the Leader. You need to stop and rename the old Standby containers and then start the new Standby containers with the evoke configure standby command. You also need to specify the hostname of the Leader and the Standby as arguments.
Enroll the Leader and Standbys into the auto-failover cluster. This step enables the auto-failover feature for the cluster, which allows the Standbys to automatically take over the role of the Leader in case of a failure. You need to use the evoke cluster enroll command on the Leader and the evoke cluster join command on the Standbys. You also need to provide the hostname and password of the Leader as arguments.

NEW QUESTION # 54
In a 3-node auto-failover cluster, the Leader has been brought down for patching that lasts longer than the configured TTL. A Standby has been promoted.
Which steps are required to repair the cluster when the old Leader is brought back online?
- A. Generate standby seeds for the newly-promoted Leader and the 3rd Standby Stop and remove the containers and then rebuild them as new Standbys.
On both new Standbys, re-enroll the node to the cluster. - B. On the new Leader, generate a Standby seed for the old Leader node and re-upload the auto-failover policy in "replace" mode.Rebuild the old Leader as a new Standby, then re-enroll the node to the cluster.
- C. Generate a Standby seed for the newly promoted Leader.
Stop and remove the container on the new Leader, then rebuild it as a new Standby.
Re-enroll the Standby to the cluster and re-base replication of the 3rd Standby back to the old Leader. - D. On the new Leader, generate a Standby seed for the old Leader node and add it to the cluster member list.
Rebuild the old Leader as a new Standby and then re-enroll the node to the cluster.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Explanation
The correct answer is A. On the new Leader, generate a Standby seed for the old Leader node and add it to the cluster member list. Rebuild the old Leader as a new Standby and then re-enroll the node to the cluster.
This is the recommended way to repair the cluster health after an auto-failover event, according to the CyberArk Sentry Secrets Manager documentation1. This method reuses the original Leader as a new Standby, without affecting the new Leader or the other Standby. The steps are as follows:
On the new Leader, generate a Standby seed for the old Leader node using the command evoke seed standby <old-leader-fqdn>. This will create a file named <old-leader-fqdn>.tar in the current directory.
On the new Leader, add the old Leader node to the cluster member list using the command evoke cluster add <old-leader-fqdn>.
On the old Leader server, stop and remove the container using the commands docker stop
<container-name> and docker rm <container-name>.
On the old Leader server, copy the Standby seed file from the new Leader using the command scp
<new-leader-fqdn>:<old-leader-fqdn>.tar .
On the old Leader server, create a new container using the same name as the one you just destroyed, and load the Standby seed file using the command docker run --name <container-name> -d --restart=always
-v /var/log/conjur:/var/log/conjur -v /opt/conjur/backup:/opt/conjur/backup -p "443:443" -p "5432:5432"
-p "1999:1999" cyberark/conjur:latest seed fetch <new-leader-fqdn> <old-leader-fqdn>.tar On the old Leader server, re-enroll the node to the cluster using the command evoke cluster enroll
<old-leader-fqdn>
The other options are not correct, as they either involve unnecessary or harmful steps, such as rebuilding the new Leader or the other Standby, or re-uploading the auto-failover policy in replace mode, which may cause data loss or inconsistency.
NEW QUESTION # 55
Where can all the self-signed/imported certificates be found in Conjur?
- A. Log in to the Conjur UI > Conjur Cluster > Certificates > view.
- B. /opt/cyberark/dap/certs from the Conjur containers
- C. /opt/conjur/etc/ssl from the Conjur containers
- D. /opt/conjur/certificates from the Conjur containers
Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation
Conjur uses TLS certificates for authentication between nodes and clients. These certificates are either self-signed by Conjur or imported from a third-party CA. All the certificates are stored in the
/opt/conjur/etc/ssl directory from the Conjur containers. This directory contains the following files:
ca.crt: The CA certificate used to verify all Conjur node certificates. This is either the self-signed Conjur CA certificate or the imported third-party CA certificate.
server.crt: The server certificate used by the Conjur node for HTTPS and mTLS connections. This certificate contains the DNS names of the node and the load balancer in the CN and SAN fields.
server.key: The private key corresponding to the server certificate.
cert.pem: A symbolic link to the server certificate file.
key.pem: A symbolic link to the server key file.
