HashiCorp Exam HCVA0-003 Topic 9 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's HCVA0-003 exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 9
[All HCVA0-003 Questions]

When creating a policy, an error was thrown:

Which statement describes the fix for this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The error was thrown because the policy code contains an invalid capability, ''write''. The valid capabilities for a policy are ''create'', ''read'', ''update'', ''delete'', ''list'', and ''sudo''. The ''write'' capability is not recognized by Vault and should be replaced with ''create'', which allows creating new secrets or overwriting existing ones. The other statements are not correct, because the wildcard (*) and the sudo capability are both valid in a policy. The wildcard matches any number of characters within a path segment, and the sudo capability allows performing certain operations that require root privileges.

I'm with Mabel on this one. Wildcards in the path? That's a big no-no. B is the answer, no doubt about it.

A? Replace 'write' with 'create'? Nah, that's not gonna cut it. Gotta go with B, my dude.

Haha, I bet the developer who wrote this policy was trying to be a little too clever with the wildcard. B is the right answer, for sure.

But sudo is not a capability, so option C could also be the fix.

C is the way to go. 'sudo' is not a capability, so that's the problem. Rookie mistake, but easy to fix.

Hmm, I think the fix is B. You can't have a wildcard in the path. That's a common mistake I've seen before.

So, we should avoid using wildcard in the path for this policy.
