ACCESS-DEF Exam Dumps - CyberArk Certification Questions and Answers

• Application: displays the web applications the system administrator has assigned to user
• Devices: lists mobile apps enrolled in CyberArk Identity
• Activity: displays all portal logs
• Account: provides the ability for users to change their password and modify information

In CyberArk's User Portal, each tab is designed to give users and administrators quick access to different functionalities and information:

• The Application tab shows the user all the web applications that they have access to, which can include both those assigned by a system administrator and any that the user has added themselves.
• The Devices tab is where users can find all their mobile devices that are currently enrolled with CyberArk Identity, providing an overview of the devices they have secured access from.
• The Activity tab is crucial for auditing and security as it logs all portal activities, which can include login attempts, changes made, and other significant actions that need to be tracked for security and compliance purposes.
• Finally, the Account tab is a personal settings area where users can manage their account details, such as changing their password or updating personal information, ensuring that their credentials and access details are current and secure.

The CyberArk Identity Windows Device Trust enrollment process allows administrators to specify the maximum number of devices that can be enrolled with a single enrollment code. This is part of the security measures to control the number of devices that can access CyberArk Identity resources. The enrollment process requires a domain-joined Windows computer and a connection to the domain controller, typically within the corporate network or connected through a VPN. References: The information provided here is based on general knowledge of device trust and enrollment processes in identity management solutions, including CyberArk Identity, as of 2021.

The Admin Portal: Applications Dashboard is designed to display the applications launched by users, the application type, and the number of times they were launched. This dashboard provides administrators with a useful summary and graphical representations of CyberArk Identity usage, including the total number of app launches over a specified period, which can be instrumental in monitoring and analyzing user activity patterns within an organization.

• Secure communication between a company's internal network (AD or LDAP) and CyberArk Identity: is a connector function
• Radius Server and Client: is a connector function
• VPN gateway: is not a connector function
• User Behavior Analytics gateway: is not a connector function
• App gateway: is a connector function
• Integrated Windows authentication (IWA): is a connector function
• LDAP proxy: is a connector function
• Firewall: is not a connector function

CyberArk Identity connectors serve as bridges between CyberArk Identity and other components of an organization's IT infrastructure:

• Secure communication with a company's internal directory services like Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is facilitated by CyberArk Identity connectors to ensure secure user authentication and synchronization.
• Radius Server and Client functionality is often supported by CyberArk Identity connectors to enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) and integrate with various network devices and services.
• VPN gateways are typically separate network devices or services that handle the security for virtual private network traffic and are not managed by CyberArk Identity connectors.
• User Behavior Analytics (UBA) gateways are specialized services for analyzing user activities and detecting potential security threats; they are separate from the standard connector functions.
• App gateways refer to application gateways that manage traffic to web applications, which can be part of CyberArk Identity's connector functionalities for single sign-on (SSO) and secure application access.
• Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) is a secure method for users to sign in to applications that can be facilitated by CyberArk Identity connectors to allow seamless authentication.
• LDAP proxy functionality is within the scope of CyberArk Identity connectors to provide additional security and abstraction layers for LDAP operations.
• Firewall management is beyond the scope of CyberArk Identity connectors as it is a network security system that controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules.

The CyberArk Identity App Gateway is designed to work with web-based applications that support standard authentication protocols. This includes:

• SAML-Compliant Apps: These are applications that use the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) protocol for single sign-on (SSO).
• WS-Fed Enabled Apps: These applications use the WS-Federation (WS-Fed) protocol, which is another standard used for SSO.
• OIDC Web Apps: OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol, and OIDC web apps are those that use this protocol for authentication.

The App Gateway allows secure access to these types of applications without the need for a VPN, facilitating remote access.

References: The information is based on general knowledge of SAML, WS-Fed, and OIDC protocols, and how they are typically used in conjunction with web-based application gateways like CyberArk Identity App Gateway. For the most accurate and detailed information, please refer to the latest CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course materials and documents.

Workday supports synchronization with both Active Directory and CyberArk Identity Cloud Directory. This allows for seamless integration and management of user identities across different platforms, ensuring that user data remains consistent and up-to-date.

References: The information is based on general knowledge of HR systems’ capabilities to integrate with various directories, as described in public documentation. For the exact details and confirmation, please refer to the official CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF) course materials and learning resources.

When a user’s account information required for multi-factor authentication (MFA) is not set up properly, preventing them from logging in, the appropriate action is to use the MFA Unlock command in the Admin Portal. This command temporarily suspends MFA, allowing the user a 10-minute window to log in without the need for MFA. This is a useful feature for resolving login issues related to MFA setup errors without having to resort to more drastic measures such as account deletion or changing directory sources.

References: This information can be found in the CyberArk documentation under the section “Temporarily suspend multi-factor authentication,” which outlines the steps to log in to the Identity Administration portal, navigate to Core Services > Users, right-click the account for the user who is locked out, and select MFA Unlock1.

SAML 2.0, or Security Assertion Markup Language 2.0, is a widely adopted standard for enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) that facilitates the exchange of authentication and authorization data between parties, particularly between an identity provider and a service provider. In the context of CyberArk Identity, SAML 2.0 is used to manage authentication, allowing users to authenticate at a single location and access a range of services without re-authenticating. This standard issues XML tokens that contain assertions about the user’s identity, attributes, andentitlements, which are then consumed by the service provider to grant access to resources. References: The information is based on CyberArk’s official documentation regarding SAML integration, which outlines the role of SAML 2.0 in single sign-on processes and its implementation within the CyberArk ecosystem1.

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.
