Introduction
Using Skytap
Before beginning exercises here are a few tips to help you navigate the labs more effectively.
Click directly on the screen icon to access the virtual machine directly in your browser
If you are using any keyboard other than a standard US, then it is strongly recommended that you use
an RDP connection rather than the HTML 5 client directly in the browser. When using RDP, all you
need to do is set the keyboard language in Windows and everything should work fine.
Go to the section for International Users for instructions on changing the keyboard.
1. Click the large monitor icon to connect with the HTML 5 client.
2. If HTML does not work try direct RDP. Inform your instructor if you do this, because some actions
will not work as shown in the book.
3. Use the Ctrl-Alt-Del button on the tool bar to send a Ctrl-Alt-Del to the machine.

4. The clipboard icon will allow you to copy and paste text between your computer and your lab
machine.
5. The full screen icon will resize your lab machine to match your computer’s screen settings to avoid
scrolling.

International Users
By default, the lab machines are configured to us a US English keyboard layout. If you use a machine
from a country other than the US, you may experience odd behavior from your lab machines. The
solution is to install the keyboard layout for your keyboard on our lab machines. Follow the process
below to find and configure the correct keyboard layout for your keyboard.

7. Press Next to accept the default Safes location, which is where the password data will be
stored.
9. Click OK and then Cancel on the Insert disc pop-up to browse to the correct location.
Note: Because the software is configured to look for the license file on the DVD drive by
default, you will probably receive an error message regarding the D: drive.

12. You will receive the same error message regarding the D: drive. Click OK and then Cancel on
the Insert disc pop-up to browse to the correct location.
Note: These files must be accessible to the PrivateArk Server service in order to start the
Vault. A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is the recommended method for key
storage. If these files are to be stored on the file system, it is highly recommended that
the keys and encrypted files be stored on separate media. If stored on attached
storage, the Operator Keys should be located on an NTFS drive.

Note: If the Vault is installed on a virtual machine , storing Operator CD files on the file
system is not recommended due to the lack of physical security.
14. Enter the IP address(es) of your Component servers in the Remote Terminal IP Address field –
10.0.20.1,10.0.21.1 and Cyberark1 – in the password fields and press Next.
NOTE: The Remote Control Agent allows you to perform administrative functions on the Vault
server from the specified Remote Terminal IP Address. This is useful when you do not
have console access to the Vault server. It is also required if you would like to enable
the Vault to send SNMP traps.

PSMP Installation
In this exercise you will configure a Linux server to run CyberArk PSM SSH Proxy (PSMP) server. See
the Installing the Privileged Session Manager SSH Proxy section of the Privileged Account Security
Installation Guide for a full explanation of all the required steps.
PSMP Preparation
Note: The Windows Installer prompts for information, such as the Vault IP address, the
directory path to install the software, the Administrator user name and password, and
accepting the EULA, for example. In Linux, these questions must be provided to the
installer prior to launching setup in the form of text files.
1. Login into your PSMP server console as root/Cyberark1. Alternatively, you can connect to the
PSMP server (10.0.1.16) using Putty from either Component Server.
2. Create an administrative user. Administrative users can connect to the PSMP machine to
perform management tasks on the machine itself without being forwarded to a target
machine. Run useradd proxymng and passwd proxymng as shown. Set the password as
Cyberark1 and confirm.
cd /root/PSM-SSHProxy-Installation/
vi vault.ini
4. Update the ADDRESS parameter value to the address of your vault server (e.g. 10.0.10.1). Use
the arrow keys to move the cursor to the text you want to amend, type *R (case-sensitive) to
make the changes and hit Esc to stop editing.
