Question#1

HOTSPOT
Where do you define the Namespace to log into using the Vault Ul?
To answer this question
Use your mouse to click on the screenshot in the location described above. An arrow indicator will mark where you have clicked. Click the "Answer" button once you have positioned the arrow to answer the question. You may need to scroll down to see the entire screenshot.


A. The namespace can be defined in the “Mount path” field in the “Advanced options” section of the login screen. The mount path is the path where the auth method is enabled, and it can include a namespace prefix. For example, if the LDAP auth method is enabled at the path ns1/auth/ldap, where ns1 is the namespace, then the mount path field should be set to ns1/auth/ldap. This way, the
Vault UI will log in to the correct namespace and auth method. Alternatively, the namespace can also
be specified in the URL of the Vault UI, such as
https://vault.example.com/ui/vault/auth/ns1/auth/ldap/login.

Question#2

The vault lease renew command increments the lease time from:

A. The current time
B. The end of the lease

Explanation:
The vault lease renew command increments the lease time from the current time, not the end of the lease. This means that the user can request a specific amount of time they want remaining on the lease, termed the increment. This is not an increment at the end of the current TTL; it is an increment from the current time. For example, vault lease renew -increment=3600 my-lease-id would request that the TTL of the lease be adjusted to 1 hour (3600 seconds) from now. Having the increment be rooted at the current time instead of the end of the lease makes it easy for users to reduce the length of leases if they don’t actually need credentials for the full possible lease period, allowing those credentials to expire sooner and resources to be cleaned up earlier. The requested increment is completely advisory. The backend in charge of the secret can choose to completely ignore it1.

Question#3

What environment variable overrides the CLI's default Vault server address?

A. VAULT_ADDR
B. VAULT_HTTP_ADORESS
C. VAULT_ADDRESS
D. VAULT _HTTPS_ ADDRESS

Explanation:
Option A. VAULT_ADDR is an environment variable that overrides the CLI's default Vault server address.
This environment variable can be set to the URL of the Vault server, which is used by Vault's CLI tool to communicate with the Vault server.

Question#4

Which of the following statements describe the CLI command below?
S vault login -method-1dap username-mitche11h

A. Generates a token which is response wrapped
B. You will be prompted to enter the password
C. By default the generated token is valid for 24 hours
D. Fails because the password is not provided

Explanation:
This command is a command to log in to Vault using the LDAP method. Usually, after executing this command, the user is prompted to enter their password, rather than the command immediately failing because the password was not provided.vault login -method=ldap username=mitchellh
