ACCESS-DEF Exam Dumps : CyberArk Defender Access (ACC-DEF)

 An “Identity Provider Initiated” login refers to a scenario where the authentication process begins at the identity provider rather than the service provider. In the context of CyberArk Defender Access, this occurs when a user first signs into the CyberArk Identity portal and then initiates access to an application by clicking on a SAML app tile. This process ensures that the user is authenticated through CyberArk Identity before being granted access to the application, thus providing a secure single sign-on (SSO) experience.

References: The explanation is based on the standard practices of SSO and the specific workflow of CyberArk Identity as an identity provider, which is documented in CyberArk’s official resources123.

The “Provisioning” feature within a Web App connector in CyberArk Identity is used to automate the process of on-boarding and off-boarding users in third-party applications. When this feature is enabled, it allows for the automatic creation, update, and deletion of user accounts in the connected application, based on the user’s status in CyberArk Identity. This ensures that access rights are granted and revoked in a timely manner, which is crucial for maintaining security and compliance within an organization.

References: The role of the provisioning feature in automating user account management can be found in the CyberArk documentation related to the CyberArk Provisioning Connector1.

To minimize the frequency of 2FA/MFA prompts, the following settings are useful:

A.Challenge Pass-Through Duration:This setting allows users to bypass additional MFA prompts for a set period after successfully completing an MFA challenge. For example, if the duration is set to 8 hours, after the user completes MFA once, they won't be prompted again for another 8 hours on the same device.

D.IP Address filter:By whitelisting certain IP addresses, such as those within the corporate network, you can configure policies that do not prompt for MFA when a user is accessing resources from a known and trusted location.

B, C, and E are not related to minimizing MFA prompts. RADIUS is an authentication provider, OATH OTP is an authentication method, and port mapping is unrelated to authentication prompts.
