Actual exam question for SailPoint's IdentityNow-Engineer exam
Question #: 24
Topic #: 3
[All IdentityNow-Engineer Questions]

Is this statement correct about security and/or encryption of data?

Solution: When setting up a virtual appliance cluster. SailPoint creates an asymmetnc key pair based on a user-provided passphrase. and then uses this key pair to communication with the IdentityNow tenant.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Yes, this statement is correct. When setting up a Virtual Appliance (VA) cluster, SailPoint does indeed create an asymmetric key pair based on a user-provided passphrase. This key pair is used for secure communication between the Virtual Appliance and the IdentityNow tenant. The asymmetric encryption model uses a public-private key pair where the private key is stored securely within the VA, and the public key is shared with the IdentityNow tenant to establish a secure, encrypted communication channel. This setup ensures that data exchanged between the VA and the IdentityNow tenant remains protected.

Wait, are they really using a user-provided passphrase for that?

Nope, I think they use a default key for initial setups.

I’m leaning towards "No" because I thought SailPoint used symmetric keys for some operations, but I need to double-check that.

I feel like I’ve seen something similar in our study materials, but I can't recall if the key pair is generated from a user-provided passphrase or if it’s done automatically.

I remember a practice question about encryption methods, and it mentioned that asymmetric keys are often used for secure communication, so this could be right.

I think the statement is mostly correct, but I'm not entirely sure if SailPoint specifically uses an asymmetric key pair for communication.
