Question

You want to add an additional maintenance user on the PSM for SSH.

A. Create a local user and add it to the PSMMaintenance Group.
B. Create a local user called proxymng.
C. Create a local user and add it to group configured for the parameter AllowGroups in the /etc/sshd_config file.
D. Create a local user, called psmpmng.

Answer

C. Create a local user and add it to group configured for the parameter AllowGroups in the /etc/sshd_config file.

Explanation

The correct answer is Option C: Create a local user and add it to the group configured for the parameter AllowGroups in the /etc/sshd_config file.

When InstallCyberArk is set to Integrated, the CyberArk SSH Daemon (SSHD) is used for SSH connections to the PSM. In this configuration, the PSM maintenance users are defined by the groups listed in the AllowGroups parameter in the /etc/sshd_config file.

To add a new maintenance user, follow these steps:

  1. Create a new local user account on the PSM server.
  2. Open the /etc/sshd_config file and locate the AllowGroups parameter.
  3. Add the new user to one of the existing groups listed in the AllowGroups parameter or create a new group and add it to the AllowGroups list.
  4. Save the changes to the /etc/sshd_config file.
  5. Restart the CyberArk SSHD service for the changes to take effect.

After completing these steps, the new user account will have maintenance privileges for SSH connections to the PSM.
