    yes

    AppID

    The Application ID associated with the CyberArk API connection.

    yes

    Client Certificate The file that contains the PEM certificate used to communicate with the CyberArk host.

    no

    Client Certificate Private Key The file that contains the PEM private key for the client certificate.

    no

    KDC Transport

    The KDC uses TCP by default in Linux implementations. For UDP, change this option. If you need to change the KDC Transport value, you may also need to change the port as the KDC UDP uses either port 88 or 750 by default, depending on the implementation.

    no
    Safe

    The CyberArk safe the credential should be retrieved from.

    Parameters Options

    The following options can be specified when Get Credential By is set to Parameters. These request parameters allow for advanced filtering of accounts based on their properties. The options correspond to the various options supported by the CyberArk REST API, as found in CyberArk documentation.

    Caution: Tenable strongly recommends encrypting communication between your on-site scanner and the CyberArk AIM gateway using HTTPS and/or client certificates. For information on securing the connection, refer to the Tenable Vulnerability Management User Guide and the Central Credential Provider Implementation Guide located at cyberark.com (login required).

  4.  Click Save.

Verification

  1. To verify the integration is working, click the Launch button to initiate an on-demand scan.

  2. After the scan completes, click the scan to view the results.

  3. Look for Plugin ID 10394. This validates that the authentication was successful. If the authentication is not successful, refer to the Debugging CyberArk Issues section of this document.
