Study Notes
Vault Security
- LDAP over SSL: To support LDAP over SSL on the Vault, import the CA certificate that signed the certificate used by the external directory into the Windows certificate store.
Troubleshooting PVWA Slow Response
- Analyze the following log files:
- PVWA.App.log
- PVWA.Reports.log
- PVWA.Console.log
- PVWA.Casos.log
- CyberArk.WebSession.General.log
- CyberArk.WebServiceSession.log
- CyberArk.WebServiceSession..log
Duplicating Platforms
- Duplicate platforms through the PVWA:
- Navigate to the platforms page.
- Select an existing platform similar to the new target account platform.
- Click Duplicate.
- Name the new platform.
Key Storage Locations
- Recovery Private Key: Store in a Physical Safe (Master CD)
- Recovery Public Key: Store on the Vault Server Disk Drive
- Server Key: Store in a Hardware Security Module
- SSH Keys: Store in the Vault.
Disabling Session Monitoring and Recording
- Disabling for Testing Accounts:
- Disable Session Monitoring and Recording policies through the Master Policy.
- Select Session Management.
- Add Exceptions to the platform(s).
Troubleshooting Web Type Connection Components
- Analyze the following log files:
- PSMConsole.log
- PSMTrace.log
- .Component.log
Identifying Vault Service Status
- Components display as disconnected in the System Health Dashboard when they lose network connection to the Vault.
- Credential de-sync: When the password stored in the Vault for a component user no longer matches the password stored in the component's credential file, the component will display as disconnected.
Linking Accounts with Reconcile and Logon Accounts
- Reconcile and Logon accounts can be linked to an account in these two locations:
- Account settings:
- Platform settings:
Enforcing One-Time Password Access and Session Recording
- Edit the Master Policy and add two policy exceptions:
- Enable "Enforce one-time password access"
- Enable "Record and save session activity".
Managing Loosely Connected Devices
- Use the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) for SSH to manage loosely connected devices.
Ensuring Exclusive Check-Out Access Through PSM
- Enable "Enforce check-in/check-out exclusive access" in the Master Policy.
- Configure the setting to active.
Vault Key Rotation
- When to rotate vault keys:
- Annually
- When migrating to a new data center
