CyberArk PAM-CDE Recertification — Question 34

Which statement is correct about CPM behavior in a Distributed Vault environment?

Answer options

• A. CPMs can only access the Primary Vault. When it is unavailable, CPM cannot access any Vault until another Vault is promoted as the new Primary Vault.
• B. CPMs can access only the Satelite Vaults.
• C. CPMs can only access the Primary Vault. When it is unavailable, CPM cannot access any Vault until the original Primary Vault is operational again.
• D. CPM can access all Vaults - Primary and the Satellite.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, accurately describes that CPMs are restricted to accessing only the Primary Vault and cannot access any other Vault until a new Primary is established. Option B is incorrect as it suggests CPMs can only access Satellite Vaults, which is not true. Option C misstates the behavior, as it does not mention the possibility of promoting another Vault. Option D is incorrect because it implies unrestricted access to all Vaults, which is not the case.
