HashiCorp Vault-Associate Exam - Topic 6 Question 26 Discussion

Actual exam question for HashiCorp's Vault-Associate exam
Question #: 26
Topic #: 6
[All Vault-Associate Questions]

When an auth method is disabled all users authenticated via that method lose access.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The statement is true. When an auth method is disabled, all users authenticated via that method lose access. This is because the tokens issued by the auth method are automatically revoked when the auth method is disabled. This prevents the users from performing any operation in Vault using the revoked tokens. To regain access, the users have to authenticate again using a different auth method that is enabled and has the appropriate policies attached.Reference:Auth Methods | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,auth disable - Command | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

I recall studying that when an auth method is disabled, it generally impacts all users, so I would lean towards true.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. I'll consider the user access implications when an auth method is disabled and select the answer that best fits that scenario.

The question mentions the impact on scalability, so I'm guessing option D is the correct answer. Caching the entire result set for all queries doesn't sound like a good idea if it negatively affects scalability.

True, unless the disabled auth method was the only one available. Then we'd all be locked out like the site owner forgot the password to their own site.
