When Vault is sealed, which are the only two options available to a Vault administrator? (select two)

  1. rotate the encryption key
  2. unseal Vault
  3. view the status of Vault
  4. configure policies
  5. author security policies
  6. view data stored in the key/value store

After creating a dynamic credential on a database, the DBA accidentally deletes the credentials on the database itself. When attempting to remove the lease, Vault returns an error stating that the
credential cannot be found. What command can be run to coerce Vault to remove the secret?

  1. vault lease -renew
  2. vault lease revoke -force -prefix <lease_path>
  3. vault revoke -apply
  4. vault lease revoke -enforce

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The -force flag is meant for recovery when the secret in the target secrets engine was manually deleted.



What type of token does not have a TTL (time to live)?

  1. default tokens
  2. parent tokens
  3. user tokens
  4. root tokens
  5. expired tokens
  6. child tokens

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Non-root tokens are associated with a TTL, which determines how long a token is valid. Root tokens are not associated with a TTL, and therefore, do not expire. Root tokens are tokens that have the root policy attached to them. They are the only type of token within Vault that are not associated with a TTL, and therefore, do not expire.



An application is trying to use a secret in which the lease has expired. What can be done in order for the application to successfully request data from Vault?

  1. request a new secret and associated lease
  2. try the expired secret in hopes it hasn't been deleted yet
  3. request the TTL be extended for the secret
  4. perform a lease renewal

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A lease must be renewed before it has expired. Once it has expired, it is permanently revoked and a new secret must be requested.

just passed the az-500 exam this last friday. most of the questions in this exam dumps are in the exam. i bought the full version and noticed some of the questions which were answered wrong in the free version are all corrected in the full version. this site is good but i wish the had it in an interactive version like a test engine simulator.
