Which feature does the CyberArk Identity Connector provide?

Question

Options

• AA web server with SAML federation to internal web applications
• Bsecured, mutually authenticated, inbound communication with CyberArk Identity SaaS
• CSCIM server for connecting to CyberArk Vault
• Dremote access lo internal web applications

• B
  90% (27)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  7% (2)

Explanation

CyberArk Identity Connector acts as a bridge between your on-premises environment and CyberArk Identity's cloud (SaaS) platform - its core purpose is establishing secured, mutually authenticated, inbound communication from CyberArk Identity SaaS down into your internal network, making B correct.

• A is wrong because the Connector doesn't function as a SAML federation web server - that role belongs to a dedicated Identity Provider (IdP) or federation service.
• C is wrong because the Connector is not a SCIM server; SCIM is a provisioning protocol and integrates differently within the CyberArk ecosystem.
• D is wrong because remote access to internal web applications describes a VPN or Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution, not the Identity Connector's function.

Memory tip: Think of the Connector as a secure tunnel initiator - it reaches outward to the SaaS cloud so the cloud can communicate inward to your on-prem directory, avoiding the need to open inbound firewall ports (hence "inbound communication" from the cloud's perspective, initiated by the Connector).
