Bssh neil@linuxuser01#acme.corp@192.168.1.164@192.168.65.145

Csshneil@linuxuser01@192.168.1.164@192.168.65.145

Dssh neil@linuxuser01@acme.corp@192.168.1.164@192.168.65.145

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

In CyberArk Privilege Cloud, when connecting to a target server using the Privileged Session Manager (PSM) for SSH, the correct syntax for the SSH command includes the following format: ssh neil@linuxuser01#acme.corp@192.168.1.164@192.168.65.145. This syntax breaks down as follows:

neil: The CyberArk username.

linuxuser01#acme.corp: The domain user on the target Linux server, formatted as username#domain.

192.168.1.164: The IP address of the target Linux server.

192.168.65.145: The IP address of the PSM for SSH server.

This specific format ensures that the CyberArk Privileged Access Manager correctly interprets and routes the connection through the PSM for SSH to the intended target server.

The correct syntax is D. You need the domain before the server IP.

Option C is missing the domain information, so it can't be the correct answer.

I’m confused about whether we need to specify the domain like that. I thought it was just username@host, but this seems different.

I feel like option D looks the most correct, but I can't recall if the order of the parameters matters in this case.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think the correct format was to separate the username and domain with an "@" symbol.

I think the syntax should include the domain before the username, but I'm not sure if it's "@" or something else.

I've got this! The correct syntax is option D - ssh neil@linuxuser01@acme.corp@192.168.1.164@192.168.65.145. I'm confident that's the right way to connect to the target Linux server through the PSM.
