Which files does the Vault Installation Wizard prompt you for during the Vault install?

The Vault Installation Wizard prompts for the Master CD (containing the server keys needed to encrypt and initialize the Vault) and the License file (to activate the Vault with the appropriate entitlements). These two are mandatory inputs the wizard requests to complete a fresh Vault installation. The Operator CD, by contrast, is used for ongoing operational activities after install and is not the file the wizard requests at install time.

A. Operator CD and License — The Operator CD is for post-install operations, not the install wizard; the Master CD is required at installation.

C. Operator CD and Vault Certificate — Neither is the correct pairing; the wizard needs the Master CD and License, not the Operator CD.

D. Master CD and DBparm.ini — DBparm.ini is a configuration file created/edited during setup, not a file the wizard prompts you to supply.

Important Note on Sources

I must be transparent per your source-integrity requirements: I cannot verify exact page numbers or section identifiers from the official CyberArk documentation without access to the live, versioned documents, and I will not fabricate citations. The appropriate authoritative sources to confirm this answer are:

- CyberArk Privileged Access Security Installation Guide — "Installing the Vault Server / Running the Vault Installation Wizard" section (CyberArk official product documentation, docs.cyberark.com).

- CyberArk PAM Self-Hosted Installation documentation — sections describing the Master CD contents (server keys) and license file requirements.

I recommend verifying the specific section/page against the exact version of the CyberArk PAM Self-Hosted Installation Guide corresponding to your deployment, as the answer aligns with the standard documented install procedure.

Would you like me to elaborate on the contents of the Master CD versus the Operator CD to reinforce the distinction?
