In a Distributed Vaults environment, which component will not be communicating with the Satellite Vaults?

In a Distributed Vaults environment, the component that does not communicate directly with the Satellite Vaults is the Central Policy Manager (CPM). The CPM is primarily responsible for managing and enforcing policies within the CyberArk environment. Its main function is to orchestrate the central management of workflows for account management, as well as to ensure that operations such as password rotation occur according to the defined security policies.

In contrast, the other components actively interact with the Satellite Vaults. The Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) serves as the user interface allowing users to access accounts stored in the vaults, and it requires communication with the Satellite Vaults to retrieve and manage those credentials effectively. The Event Notification Engine (ENE) handles event notifications across the CyberArk components, needing to communicate with Satellite Vaults for real-time updates and alerts on key activities. The Vault Administrator console, used for managing and maintaining the Vaults, also requires direct interaction with the Satellite Vaults to perform various administrative tasks.

This differentiation in communication roles within the CyberArk architecture indicates why the Central Policy Manager is the component that does not directly communicate with the Satellite Vaults.
