1Z0-1072-26 Identity And Access Management Practice Question
You are designing a security architecture where a dynamic group must access a Vault secret. In addition to creating the dynamic group and writing a policy allowing the dynamic group to read secrets, what specific permission or resource relationship must be established on the Vault itself?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The policy must allow the dynamic group to read secrets and keys in the vault compartment, and the vault key must be accessible.
Vault secrets are encrypted using master encryption keys (master encryption keys managed in OCI Vault). For a dynamic group to read a secret, the policy must grant access to secrets and keys, and the key policy must allow decryption.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The vault must be placed in the exact same subnet as the compute instance.
Why it's wrong here
Vaults and secrets are regional API-driven services and do not reside inside VCN subnets.
- ✗
The compute instance must have its root password stored as plain text in the instance metadata.
Why it's wrong here
Storing passwords in metadata is a severe security violation.
- ✓
The policy must allow the dynamic group to read secrets and keys in the vault compartment, and the vault key must be accessible.
Why this is correct
Accessing Vault secrets requires permissions on both the 'secrets' resource type and the 'vaults'/'keys' resource types because secrets are encrypted by vault master keys.
- ✗
You must attach an API signing key directly to the compute instance metadata service.
Why it's wrong here
Instance principals handle authentication automatically without API signing keys.
