- A. RollingFile
- B. Appenders
- C. AsyncLogger
- D. Logger
Answer: D
Explanation:
In Log4j2, theLoggerelement controls the log level (INFO,DEBUG,ERROR, etc.) for specific packages or classes.
Exact Extract:
"To modify logging levels, edit the<Logger>element inlog4j2.xmland change the level attribute."
* Option A (AsyncLogger)is a performance optimization, not for changing levels.
* Option B (RollingFile)defines file rotation, not log levels.
* Option C (Logger)is correct - this is where log levels are defined.
* Option D (Appenders)define output destinations, not severity levels.

NEW QUESTION # 28
How many administrators are supported using HTTP Basic Authentication in the Administrative Console?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: D
Explanation:
When usingHTTP Basic Authentication(admin.auth=native), PingAccess only supports asingle administrative account(the default admin user). For multiple administrators, SSO integration (e.g., OIDC) is required.
Exact Extract:
"When admin authentication is set to native (HTTP Basic), only one administrative user is supported. For multiple admins, configure UI authentication with an OIDC provider."
* Option A (1000)is incorrect.
* Option B (1)is correct - only one basic auth admin account.
* Option C (10)andOption D (100)are incorrect.

NEW QUESTION # 29
A company has removed the requirement to record back-channel requests from PingAccess to PingFederate in the audit log.
Where should the administrator update this behavior without affecting existing applications?
- A. Web Sessions
- B. Token Validation
- C. Token Provider
- D. Sites
Answer: B
Explanation:
PingAccess can be configured to log or suppress back-channel requests that occur duringtoken validation with an OAuth/OpenID Connect provider such as PingFederate. These requests happen when PingAccess calls PingFederate to validate access tokens or retrieve key material.
* Exact Extract from PingAccess documentation:
"Back-channel requests are logged during token validation by default. To prevent these requests from being written to the audit log, update theToken Validationsettings in PingAccess." This makesToken Validationthe correct location for changing the behavior without modifying application- specific configurations.
Why other options are wrong:
* B. Web Sessions
* Incorrect. Web Sessions control user session management and cookie handling, not back-channel token validation traffic.
* C. Sites
* Incorrect. Sites are the definitions of backend servers that PingAccess proxies to. This setting does not affect back-channel logging to PingFederate.
* D. Token Provider
* Incorrect. The Token Provider defines the OIDC/OAuth server (e.g., PingFederate) and its endpoints, but the logging of back-channel requests is not controlled here.
Thus, the correct answer isA. Token Validation.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide-Managing Token Validationsection.
NEW QUESTION # 30
An administrator is integrating a new PingAccess Proxied Application for which the target site uses a certificate issued by a publicly trusted Certificate Authority.
How should the administrator configure PingAccess to trust the target site?
- A. Import the certificate chain into Key Pairs
- B. Import the certificate chain into Key Pairs and add it to a Trusted Certificate Group
- C. Drop the certificate chain into a Trusted Certificate Group
- D. Configure the PingAccess Site to use the Java Trust Store Certificate Group
Answer: D
Explanation:
Publicly trusted Certificate Authorities are already included in theJava Trust Store Certificate Group, which PingAccess can use directly. This avoids importing the certificate manually.
Exact Extract:
"If the target site uses a certificate from a well-known public CA, configure the site to use the Java Trust Store Certificate Group."
* Option Ais incorrect - Key Pairs store private keys for SSL termination, not public CA trust anchors.
* Option Bis correct - Java Trust Store already contains trusted public CAs.
* Option Cis incorrect - again, Key Pairs are not used for trust validation.
* Option Dis unnecessary for public CAs - only internal/self-signed certs must be imported.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Trusted Certificate Groups
NEW QUESTION # 31
A modified application now requires additional attributes to be passed in the headers. What needs to be modified in order to pass the additional attributes?
- A. JWT Identity Mapping
- B. Web Session Attribute Rule
- C. HTTP Request Header Rule
- D. Header Identity Mapping
Answer: D
Explanation:
To pass user attributes into HTTP headers for applications, PingAccess usesIdentity Mappings. When attributes need to be passed specifically as headers, the administrator must update theHeader Identity Mapping.
Exact Extract:
"Header identity mappings map attributes from a user's web session to HTTP headers that are then sent to the back-end application."
* Option A (HTTP Request Header Rule)is incorrect - this adds or modifies static request headers, not user attributes.
* Option B (Header Identity Mapping)is correct - this maps identity attributes into headers dynamically.
* Option C (JWT Identity Mapping)is incorrect - that's used for passing attributes as claims in JWTs.
* Option D (Web Session Attribute Rule)is incorrect - that is for access control evaluation, not propagation of attributes.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Identity Mapping (Header Identity Mapping)
NEW QUESTION # 32
A department has a requirement to protect anything in its application that resides in a folder named
"escalated," no matter where that folder is in the path. Which path prefix should be used in this situation?
- A. escalated/
- B. */escalated/
- C. */escalated/+
- D. /*escalated/
Answer: B
Explanation:
PingAccess supports flexible path matching for resources using wildcards. If the requirement is to matchany path that contains a folder named "escalated", the correct format is:
* */escalated/# matchesany locationof theescalateddirectory within the path.
Exact Extract:
"The asterisk (*) wildcard matches zero or more characters. Use it in resource paths to match folders at any depth."
* Option A (escalated/)only matches when the resource starts with "escalated/" at the root, not at arbitrary depth.
* Option B (*/escalated/)is correct - it matches theescalatedfolder no matter where it occurs.
* Option C (*/escalated/+ )is incorrect -+is not a valid PingAccess wildcard operator.
* *Option D (/escalated/)matches only when the path starts with "escalated" at the first level, not arbitrary positions.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Resource Path Matching
NEW QUESTION # 33
A PingAccess administrator needs to configure PingAccess to validate tokens. Which two options can the administrator use? (Choose 2 answers)
- A. Common OIDC provider
- B. Kerberos
- C. PingAuthorize
- D. Common SAML provider
- E. PingFederate
Answer: A,E
Explanation:
PingAccess validates access tokens usingAccess Token Managers, which are typically backed by PingFederateor ageneric OIDC provider.
Exact Extract:
"PingAccess validates tokens through Access Token Managers, which can be configured against PingFederate or a common OIDC provider."
* Option A (PingFederate)is correct - the most common token provider.
* Option B (Kerberos)is not supported for token validation.
* Option C (SAML provider)is incorrect - PingAccess does not natively consume SAML assertions.
* Option D (Common OIDC provider)is correct - tokens can be validated against any OIDC- compliant IdP.
* Option E (PingAuthorize)is an authorization engine, not a token provider.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Access Token Managers
NEW QUESTION # 34
What is the purpose of the Mutual TLS Site Authenticator?
- A. Allows the user to authenticate to the backend server
- B. Allows the backend server to authenticate to PingAccess
- C. Allows PingAccess to authenticate to the token provider
- D. Allows PingAccess to authenticate to the backend server
Answer: D
Explanation:
Mutual TLS (mTLS) is used to establishtwo-way authenticationwhere both the client and the server present certificates to prove their identity. In the case of PingAccess, aMutual TLS Site Authenticatoris configured when PingAccess acts as a reverse proxy making requests to a backend (target) server.
* Exact Extract from PingAccess documentation:
"Mutual TLS site authenticators provide client certificate authentication when PingAccess connects to a backend site. This allows PingAccess to present its certificate to the target server during the TLS handshake." This means the purpose is forPingAccess (client) to authenticate itself to the backend server (target resource)when establishing a secure connection.
Why other options are wrong:
* A. Allows the backend server to authenticate to PingAccess
* Incorrect. That's normal server-side TLS authentication (the server presents a cert to the client), not mutual TLS initiated by PingAccess.
* B. Allows the user to authenticate to the backend server
* Incorrect. End users do not directly use this setting; this is between PingAccess and the backend application server.
* C. Allows PingAccess to authenticate to the backend server
* Correct. This is exactly the definition of a Mutual TLS Site Authenticator in PingAccess.
* D. Allows PingAccess to authenticate to the token provider
* Incorrect. That would involve OIDC/OAuth token exchange and possibly TLS trust, but it's not the role of the Site Authenticator.
Thus, the correct answer isC. Allows PingAccess to authenticate to the backend server.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide-Configuring Site Authenticators (Mutual TLS).
NEW QUESTION # 35
Which two protocols does PingAccess use for authentication and authorization? (Choose 2 answers.)
- A. WS-Fed
- B. OAuth2
- C. WS-Trust
- D. SAML
- E. OIDC
Answer: B,E
Explanation:
PingAccess is designed to work with modern identity protocols. It doesnotsupport legacy WS-* protocols directly.
Exact Extract:
"PingAccess integrates with OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) to provide authentication and authorization for web and API resources."
* Option A (SAML)is incorrect - PingAccess does not natively consume SAML assertions; SAML can be used indirectly via PingFederate.
* Option B (WS-Fed)is not supported.
* Option C (WS-Trust)is not supported.
* Option D (OAuth2)is correct - used for authorization and token validation.
* Option E (OIDC)is correct - used for user authentication and sessions.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Supported Protocols
NEW QUESTION # 36
Where in the administrative console should an administrator make user attributes available as HTTP request headers?
- A. Web Sessions
- B. Site Authenticators
- C. Identity Mappings
- D. HTTP Requests
Answer: C
Explanation:
PingAccess usesIdentity Mappingsto take identity attributes provided by the authentication source (e.g., PingFederate, OpenID Connect) and map them into HTTP request headers for back-end applications.
Exact Extract:
"An identity mapping allows you to map identity attributes from the user's session to HTTP headers, cookies, or query parameters that are then forwarded to the target application."
* Option A (Site Authenticators)is incorrect because Site Authenticators configure how PingAccess communicates with applications requiring authentication, not how attributes are inserted into headers.
* Option B (Identity Mappings)is correct - this is the feature designed specifically to expose user attributes to applications via HTTP headers.
* Option C (Web Sessions)manages how sessions are stored and validated, but not the mapping of attributes into requests.
* Option D (HTTP Requests)refers to request/response processing rules, but attributes are not mapped here.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Identity Mapping
NEW QUESTION # 37
An administrator needs to configure a signed JWT identity mapping for an application that expects to be able to validate the signature. Which endpoint does the application need to access to validate the signature?
- A. /pa/authtoken/JWKS
- B. /pa/aidc/cb
- C. /pa-admin-api/v3/identityMappinga/descriptora/jwtidentitymapping
- D. /pa-admin-api/v3/authTokenManagement
Answer: A
Explanation:
Applications consuming signed JWTs need theJSON Web Key Set (JWKS)endpoint to retrieve the public keys used for validating JWT signatures. PingAccess exposes this at/pa/authtoken/JWKS.
Exact Extract:
"When using JWT identity mapping, applications can obtain the signing keys from the/pa/authtoken
/JWKSendpoint to validate the JWT signature."
* Option Ais correct -/pa/authtoken/JWKSprovides the key set for signature validation.
* Option Bis incorrect - that's an administrative API for configuring identity mappings, not a runtime validation endpoint.
* Option Cis incorrect -/pa/aidc/cbis the OIDC callback endpoint.
* Option Dis incorrect -/pa-admin-api/v3/authTokenManagementis for admin token management, not JWT validation.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -JWT Identity Mapping
NEW QUESTION # 38
An administrator needs to support SLO (Single Logout) for a protected web application. What must be configured in a PingAccess Web Session in this situation?
- A. Validate Session
- B. Idle timeout
- C. SLO scope
- D. Refresh User Attributes
Answer: C
Explanation:
To enableSingle Logout (SLO), theSLO scopemust be defined in the PingAccess Web Session configuration. This determines which sessions are ended when a logout request occurs.
Exact Extract:
"The SLO scope option in a web session specifies which applications are included in a logout event when Single Logout is triggered."
* Option A (SLO scope)is correct; it explicitly enables SLO support by linking session termination across apps.
* Option B (Idle timeout)is unrelated; this controls session expiration, not SLO.
* Option C (Validate Session)ensures session state is synchronized but does not configure SLO.
* Option D (Refresh User Attributes)is unrelated; it only controls whether attributes are reloaded.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Configuring Web Sessions
NEW QUESTION # 39
What is the purpose of theadmin.authconfiguration setting?
- A. To define the method to use for authenticating to the administrative API.
- B. To configure SSO for the administrative user interface.
- C. To enable automatic authentication to the PingAccess administrative console.
- D. To override the SSO configuration for the administrative user interface.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Theadmin.authsetting in therun.propertiesfile is used to specify a fallback authentication method for the administrative console.
Exact Extract from official documentation:
"To define a fallback administrator authentication method if the OIDC token provider is unreachable, enable the admin.auth=native property in the run.properties file. This overrides any configured administrative authentication to basic authentication." This makes it clear that the purpose ofadmin.authis tooverrideany configured SSO for the admin UI and enforce native (basic) authentication instead.
* Option Ais incorrect because theadmin.authsetting does not configure SSO. SSO for the admin UI is configured separately.
* Option Bis incorrect because this setting does not apply to the administrative API; it specifically applies to the admin UI console.
* Option Cis correct because it directly reflects the documented behavior:admin.authoverrides SSO configuration for the administrative UI and enables native authentication.
* Option Dis incorrect because the setting does not enable automatic authentication. It still requires credentials, but falls back to basic auth.

NEW QUESTION # 40
An administrator is integrating a new PingAccess Proxied Application. The target site uses a certificate issued by an internal Certificate Authority hosted by the customer. Prior to assigning the certificate group in the Site configuration, which action should the administrator take to configure PingAccess to trust the certificate?
- A. Import the certificate chain into Key Pairs and add it to the Trusted Certificate Group.
- B. Configure the PingAccess Site to use the Java Trust Store Certificate Group.
- C. Import the certificate chain into Key Pairs and assign it to a new engine listener.
- D. Import the certificate chain and add it to the Trusted Certificate Group.
Answer: D
Explanation:
PingAccess must trust the back-end site's certificate to establish TLS. For internally issued certificates, the administrator imports thecertificate chaininto aTrusted Certificate Group.
Exact Extract:
"When a target site uses an internal CA, import the certificate or chain into a Trusted Certificate Group and assign that group to the site."
* Option Ais incorrect - the Java trust store does not contain the internal CA by default.
* Option Bis incorrect - Key Pairs store private keys for SSL termination, not trusted CA certs.
* Option Cis incorrect - engine listeners use key pairs for inbound SSL, not site trust.
* Option Dis correct - the certificate must be imported into Trusted Certificate Groups.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Trusted Certificate Groups
NEW QUESTION # 41
The application team has changed their directory paths. An administrator must adjust the following paths:
* /images/sitel/
* /images/sitel/checkout/default.html
* /images/sitel/homepage/english/default.html
Which pattern would match the paths?
- A. /images/sitel/english/*
- B. /images/sitel/*
- C. /images/site*
- D. /images/aitel/checkout
Answer: B
Explanation:
The pattern/images/sitel/*matches all subpaths and files under the/images/sitel/directory, including nested paths.
Exact Extract:
"The asterisk (*) matches zero or more characters within the path. For example,/images/sitel/*matches all resources under thesitelfolder."
* Option Ais incorrect - it references/aitel/instead of/sitel/.
* Option Bis incorrect -/site*matches strings beginning with "site", but may also match "siteX" incorrectly.
* Option Cis incorrect - it only matches resources under/english/, missing other folders.
* Option Dis correct -/images/sitel/*covers all given examples.

NEW QUESTION # 42
Which two options can be changed in therun.propertiesfile? (Choose 2 answers.)
- A. Operational mode for PingAccess
- B. URL for heartbeat endpoint
- C. Default logs location
- D. X-Frame-Options header
- E. Logging levels
Answer: A,E
Explanation:
Therun.propertiesfile in PingAccess is the primary configuration file that defines system-level runtime behavior. According to PingAccess documentation:
* Exact Extract:
"Therun.propertiesfile contains configuration properties for PingAccess, including operational mode, logging levels, admin authentication fallback, cluster settings, and system defaults." (PingAccess Administrator's Guide -run.properties Reference) From this, we can determine:
* C. Operational mode for PingAccess#CorrectThe propertypa.operational.modeinrun.properties defines whether the node operates asSTANDALONE,CLUSTERED_CONSOLE, CLUSTERED_CONSOLE_REPLICA, orCLUSTERED_ENGINE. This is one of the core configurable options.
* E. Logging levels#CorrectProperties such aslog.leveland other logging configurations are explicitly defined inrun.properties, allowing administrators to adjust the verbosity of logs (DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR).
Why the others are incorrect:
* A. Default logs location#IncorrectThe log file path is not controlled viarun.properties. It is defined in log4j2.xml, not inrun.properties.
* B. URL for heartbeat endpoint#IncorrectThe heartbeat endpoint (/pa/heartbeat.ping) is a fixed system endpoint and is not configurable inrun.properties.
* D. X-Frame-Options header#IncorrectSecurity headers likeX-Frame-Optionsare managed under application security policies or global response headers, not inrun.properties.

NEW QUESTION # 43
An administrator is integrating a new PingAccess Proxied Application. The application will use an SSL certificate issued by a publicly trusted Certificate Authority. PingAccess is terminating SSL and is responsible for loading the SSL certificate for that application. What initial action must the administrator take in PingAccess in this situation?
- A. Import the SSL public key with the full certificate chain into the Key Pairs.
- B. Import the SSL public key with the full certificate chain into the Certificates.
- C. Import the PKCS#12 file with the full certificate chain into the Key Pairs.
- D. Import the PKCS#12 file with the full certificate chain into the Certificates.
Answer: C
Explanation:
For PingAccess to terminate SSL for a proxied application, it requires access to theprivate key and certificate chain. These are stored asKey Pairs.
Exact Extract:
"For SSL termination, you must import the server certificate and its private key as a PKCS#12 file intoKey Pairs."
* Option Ais incorrect - a public key alone cannot terminate SSL.
* Option Bis incorrect - PKCS#12 files must go intoKey Pairs, not Certificates.
* Option Cis incorrect - public keys alone are insufficient; PingAccess must have the private key.
* Option Dis correct - the PKCS#12 file with full chain and private key is imported intoKey Pairs.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Managing Certificates and Key Pairs
NEW QUESTION # 44
An administrator is setting up PingAccess to terminate SSL for a proxied application. What action must the administrator take to configure an existing certificate for that application?
- A. Assign the Key Pair to the Virtual Host
- B. Assign the Key Pair to the Agent Listener
- C. Enable Require HTTPS in the Application configuration
- D. Set the secure flag to Yes in the Site configuration
Answer: A
Explanation:
PingAccess terminates SSL at theVirtual Hostlevel. To configure an existing certificate, the administrator must assign the appropriateKey Pair(which contains the certificate and private key) to the Virtual Host.
Exact Extract:
"SSL termination occurs on the engine listener through virtual hosts. Assign the certificate's key pair to the virtual host to secure proxied applications."
* Option Ais correct - assign the key pair to the Virtual Host for SSL termination.
* Option Bis incorrect - Require HTTPS enforces secure access but does not configure SSL termination.
* Option Cis incorrect - Agent Listener is for PingAccess Agents, not proxied apps.
* Option Dis incorrect - secure flag affects cookie settings, not SSL certificates.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Virtual Hosts and Key Pairs
NEW QUESTION # 45
An administrator needs to use attributes that are not currently available in theIdentity Mapping Attribute Namedropdown. Which action should the administrator take?
- A. Create a Web Session Attribute rule for the additional attributes
- B. Create a Rewrite Content rule for the additional attributes
- C. Request that the additional attributes be added by the token provider administrator
- D. Request that the additional attributes be added by the web developer
Answer: C
Explanation:
Identity Mapping in PingAccess relies on attributes provided by thetoken provider(e.g., PingFederate, OIDC provider). If the desired attributes are not present in the dropdown, it means they are not being provided in the token or userinfo response.
Exact Extract:
"Attributes available in identity mappings are those provided in the web session by the token provider. If attributes are missing, they must be added to the token by the identity provider."
* Option Ais correct - the token provider administrator must configure the IdP to include the additional attributes.
* Option Bis incorrect - rewrite rules modify content but do not supply new identity attributes.
* Option Cis incorrect - developers cannot directly add identity attributes; they must come from the IdP.
* Option Dis incorrect - Web Session Attribute rules only evaluate available attributes; they don't create new ones.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Identity Mapping and Attributes
NEW QUESTION # 46
During a business review of an application, the administrator needs to change the Resource Authentication to anonymous. What are the two effects of making this change to the resource? (Choose 2 answers.)
- A. The resource requires no further authentication, and no rules will apply.
- B. The resource requires no further authentication, and Identity Mappings still apply.
- C. The resource requires no further authentication, and all Access Control rules still apply.
- D. The resource requires no further authentication, and Processing rules still apply.
- E. Requests to this resource are not logged, and Identity Mappings are applied.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
When a resource is configured asanonymous, PingAccess does not challenge the user for authentication.
However, certain processing and identity propagation still occur.
Exact Extract:
"Anonymous resources do not require authentication. Identity mappings and request/response processing rules still apply."
* Option Ais incorrect because rules such as identity mappings and processing still apply.
* Option Bis correct - Identity Mappings can still forward attributes, even for anonymous access.
* Option Cis correct - Processing rules (e.g., request/response modifications) still apply.
* Option Dis incorrect - requestsarelogged; anonymous does not disable logging.
* Option Eis incorrect - access control rules (authorization) are not evaluated for anonymous resources.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Resource Authentication
NEW QUESTION # 47
Which of the following is a processing rule?
- A. Web Session Attribute
- B. Cross-Origin Request
- C. HTTP Request Parameter
- D. HTTP Request Header
Answer: B
Explanation:
PingAccess rules are categorized intoAccess Control RulesandProcessing Rules.
* Processing Rulesmodify or add to HTTP requests and responses.
* Cross-Origin Request (CORS)is specifically listed as aProcessing Rule, because it modifies response headers to support cross-origin requests.
Exact Extract:
"Processing rules apply to HTTP traffic, such as Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS), header injection, or response modification."
* Option A (Web Session Attribute)is an access control rule.
* Option B (Cross-Origin Request)is correct - this is a processing rule.
* Option C (HTTP Request Parameter)is an access control rule.
* Option D (HTTP Request Header)is an access control rule.
