What is a prerequisite for installing the CPM?

Installing the CyberArk Central Policy Manager (CPM) requires that at least one Password Vault Web Access (PVWA) server is installed. The PVWA is essential because it serves as the web interface through which users manage the Vault and interact with the CPM. The CPM relies on the functionalities provided by the PVWA to perform its operations, such as managing passwords for accounts and implementing policies.

Without a PVWA, the CPM would lack the necessary connectivity and interface to effectively manage credential operations within the CyberArk environment. This setup ensures that all components of CyberArk work cohesively, allowing for a more secure and integrated approach to credential management.
