CyberArk Updated CPC-CDE-RECERT Exam Questions and Answers by aadhya

For large implementations of CyberArk Privilege Cloud Connectors in AWS and Azure environments, each connector can handle between 31-60 concurrent RDP/SSH sessions. This capacity is specified in the CyberArk documentation concerning Privilege Cloud Connectors and their scalability options. It is designed to support a higher volume of concurrent sessions to meet the needs of larger enterprise environments, ensuring that multiple users can securely access resources without significant performance degradation.

CyberArk’s Safe permission definitions state:

List accounts allows the user to view the Accounts/Files list (so they can see the account to connect to).

Use Accounts explicitly enables the user to log on through PSM by clicking the “Connect” / “Connect with account” button from the Accounts List or Account Details.

Therefore, the minimum Safe rights to allow “Connect only” are List accounts (C) + Use Accounts (A).

In the Privilege Cloud Installer (Standard) procedure, the Connector installer explicitly prompts you to select which components you want to install: “CPM/PSM/Both.”

That means the installation package supports installing:

PSM (Windows connector)

CPM

Why the other options are not correct for this installer package:

C (Secure Tunnel) is treated as a separate component (downloaded as a Secure Tunnel Client Installer package), not one of the “CPM/PSM/Both” choices in the Connector installer step.

D (CCP) is not listed as an installable component in the Privilege Cloud Connector installer flow shown in the official procedure.

E (PSM for SSH) is selected/downloaded as a separate component to support UNIX/Linux, not installed via the Connector installer’s “CPM/PSM/Both” selection.

When installing the first CyberArk Privilege Management (CPM) instance in the Privilege Cloud using the Connector Management Agent, the installation mode should be set to "Active". This configuration sets the CPM to be actively involved in password management and task processing without being in a standby or passive mode. Here are the step-by-step details:

Download the Connector Management Agent: Obtain the installer from the CyberArk Marketplace or your installation kit.

Run the Installer: Start the setup and select the CPM component to install.

Choose Installation Mode: When prompted, select "Active" as the installation mode. This sets up the CPM as the primary node responsible for handling password management operations.

This setup ensures that the CPM is immediately active and capable of handling requests without waiting for manual intervention or failover.
