To correctly change the default PSM recordings folder path on the Privilege Cloud Connector, the sequence of steps should be:

• Create a corresponding folder in the new location.Before making changes to configuration files, ensure the new directory for PSM recordings is created. This is where all session recordings will be stored moving forward.
• In the Basic_psm.ini file, set RecordingsDirectory with the new path.Update the Basic_psm.ini file to reflect the new path for the recordings. This step is crucial as it directs the PSM to start using the newly created directory for all future session recordings.
• Restart the PSM service.After updating the path in the configuration file, restart the PSM service to apply the changes. This ensures that all new sessions are recorded in the new specified location.
• Run the PSMHardening script.Once the service is restarted and the new settings are in place, run the PSMHardening script. This script ensures that all security measures are re-applied to the new recordings directory, maintaining the security integrity of the session recordings.

Following these steps in the given order will successfully change the recording directory for PSM sessions on the Privilege Cloud Connector, ensuring a smooth transition to the new storage location with all necessary security measures intact.

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.

During the Central Policy Manager (CPM) hardening process, the locally created users that are granted 'Logon as a Service' rights in the local group policy are typically PasswordManager and PasswordManagerUser. These accounts are crucial for the CPM’s operation as they handle password management tasks and require the ability to log on as a service to perform their functions effectively. This configuration is established to ensure that these service accounts can operate under service control manager without interruption, which is critical for automated password rotations and other security processes managed by the CPM. This detail is typically outlined in the CyberArk CPM installation and configuration guide.
