Ping Identity PAP-001 Exam Dumps

In Log4j2, the Logger element controls the log level (INFO, DEBUG, ERROR, etc.) for specific packages or classes.

Exact Extract:

''To modify logging levels, edit the <Logger> element in log4j2.xml and 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.

The admin.auth setting in the run.properties file 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 of admin.auth is to override any configured SSO for the admin UI and enforce native (basic) authentication instead.

Option A is incorrect because the admin.auth setting does not configure SSO. SSO for the admin UI is configured separately.

Option B is incorrect because this setting does not apply to the administrative API; it specifically applies to the admin UI console.

Option C is correct because it directly reflects the documented behavior: admin.auth overrides SSO configuration for the administrative UI and enables native authentication.

Option D is incorrect because the setting does not enable automatic authentication. It still requires credentials, but falls back to basic auth.

Legacy PKIs often provide certificate chains that are out of order or non-compliant with RFC-5280 path validation. PingAccess provides an option in Trusted Certificate Groups called Validate disordered certificate chains to allow chaining even if the order is not RFC-5280 compliant.

Exact Extract:

''Enable Validate disordered certificate chains when the certificate chain is not in RFC-5280 compliant order but should still be accepted.''

Option A is incorrect; using the Java trust store is unrelated to PKI ordering.

Option B is correct --- this setting allows PingAccess to process disordered certificate chains.

Option C is incorrect; date checks are unrelated to RFC-5280 path ordering.

Option D is incorrect; revocation status handling does not address legacy PKI ordering issues.

Applications consuming signed JWTs need the JSON 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/JWKS endpoint to validate the JWT signature.''

Option A is correct --- /pa/authtoken/JWKS provides the key set for signature validation.

Option B is incorrect --- that's an administrative API for configuring identity mappings, not a runtime validation endpoint.

Option C is incorrect --- /pa/aidc/cb is the OIDC callback endpoint.

Option D is incorrect --- /pa-admin-api/v3/authTokenManagement is for admin token management, not JWT validation.

When a resource is configured as anonymous, 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 A is incorrect because rules such as identity mappings and processing still apply.

Option B is correct --- Identity Mappings can still forward attributes, even for anonymous access.

Option C is correct --- Processing rules (e.g., request/response modifications) still apply.

Option D is incorrect --- requests are logged; anonymous does not disable logging.

Option E is incorrect --- access control rules (authorization) are not evaluated for anonymous resources.
