NEW QUESTION # 22
An application requires MFA for URLs that are considered high risk. Which action should the administrator take to meet this requirement?
- A. Apply a Web Session Attribute rule to the resource.
- B. Apply an Authentication Requirements rule to the resource.
- C. Create an Authentication Requirement named MFA_Required.
- D. Apply an HTTP Request Parameter rule to the resource.
Answer: B
Explanation:
PingAccess allows fine-grained authentication enforcement by applyingAuthentication Requirement rulesat the resource level. These rules can invoke MFA flows based on request context or policy.
Exact Extract:
"Authentication requirement rules determine whether PingAccess challenges a user to authenticate again (for example, with MFA) before allowing access to a protected resource."
* Option Ais incomplete. Creating a requirement does nothing unless it is applied.
* Option Bis correct because applying the Authentication Requirement rule to thespecific resource (URL)enforces MFA only for that resource.
* Option Cis incorrect; Web Session Attribute rules are about evaluating existing session attributes, not triggering MFA.
* Option Dis incorrect; HTTP Request Parameter rules are used to evaluate request data, not enforce MFA policies.

NEW QUESTION # 23
Users report the following about access to an application:
* Inconsistent behavior depending on the browser used
* Denied access
* Prompt to accept a security exception
Which configuration option should the administrator adjust?
- A. Request Preservation
- B. Enable PKCE
- C. SameSite Cookie
- D. Validate Session
Answer: C
Explanation:
Modern browsers enforce stricter cookie handling rules. If cookies are not configured correctly with the SameSiteattribute, behavior can differ across browsers, leading to inconsistent authentication and access denials. Security exceptions may appear when session cookies are blocked.
Exact Extract:
"The SameSite cookie setting defines how browsers send cookies in cross-site requests. Misconfigured SameSite values can lead to inconsistent application behavior across browsers."
* Option A (Enable PKCE)is related to OAuth flow security, not browser cookie behavior.
* Option B (SameSite Cookie)is correct - this directly explains the inconsistent browser issues.
* Option C (Request Preservation)ensures query parameters are kept, not related to cross-browser session handling.
* Option D (Validate Session)checks session state but does not address browser inconsistencies.

NEW QUESTION # 24
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 Identity Mappings still apply.
- B. The resource requires no further authentication, and all Access Control rules still apply.
- C. The resource requires no further authentication, and Processing rules still apply.
- D. Requests to this resource are not logged, and Identity Mappings are applied.
- E. The resource requires no further authentication, and no rules will apply.
Answer: A,C
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.

NEW QUESTION # 25
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. HTTP Request Header Rule
- B. JWT Identity Mapping
- C. Web Session Attribute 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.

NEW QUESTION # 26
A business requires logs to be written to a centralized Oracle database. Which two actions must the PingAccess administrator take to enable this? (Choose 2 answers.)
- A. Remove the logs located in PA_HOME/log.
- B. Enable the Audit flag in the Resource.
- C. Import the database certificate into the Trusted Certificate Group.
- D. Copy the database driver JAR file to the PA_HOME/lib directory.
- E. Configure log4j2.xml and log4j2.db.properties.
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
PingAccess supports logging directly to a relational database usingLog4j database appenders. To enable this:
* Configurelog4j2.xmlto use a JDBC Appender.
* Configurelog4j2.db.propertieswith the database connection information.
* Provide the appropriate database driver in thePA_HOME/libdirectory.
Exact Extract:
"To log to a database, configure log4j2.xml and log4j2.db.properties, and place the JDBC driver JAR file in PA_HOME/lib."
* Option Ais correct - both files must be configured.
* Option Bis incorrect - existing logs do not need removal.
* Option Cis incorrect - enabling audit is unrelated to database logging.
* Option Dis correct - the Oracle JDBC driver must be installed in PA_HOME/lib.
* Option Eis incorrect unless TLS is used to connect to the DB, but it is not required for standard DB logging setup.

NEW QUESTION # 27
A protected web application requires that additional attributes be provided once the user is authenticated.
Which two steps must the administrator perform to meet this requirement? (Choose 2 answers.)
- A. Update the Identity Mapping.
- B. Request that the token provider update the access token with the additional attributes.
- C. Update the Web Session.
- D. Update the Site Authenticator.
- E. Request that the token provider update the ID token with the additional attributes.
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
When applications require additional attributes:
* TheWeb Sessionmust be configured to retrieve those attributes from the token provider (OIDC or PingFederate).
* TheIdentity Mappingmust be updated to forward those attributes to the application (e.g., as headers).
Exact Extract:
"Web sessions define how user attributes are retrieved from the token provider. Identity mappings determine how those attributes are inserted into requests to applications."
* Option Ais not necessarily required; attributes can be retrieved via userinfo endpoint or access token, not only ID tokens.
* Option Bis correct - Identity Mappings must be updated to pass attributes to the app.
* Option Cis incorrect - Site Authenticators define how PingAccess authenticates to apps, not attribute handling.
* Option Dis incorrect unless the architecture specifically requires access token updates; PingAccess often uses the Web Session to fetch attributes.
* Option Eis correct - Web Session must be updated to retrieve additional attributes.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Web Sessions and Identity Mapping
NEW QUESTION # 28
An administrator configures PingAccess to use PingFederate as the token provider. Which benefit does this provide?
- A. The automatic population of the Client ID field for selection in creating or editing a Web Session
- B. The ability to define new OAuth clients in PingFederate from within PingAccess
- C. The ability to manage token issuance criteria from within PingAccess
- D. The ability to use Single Sign-On support for the administrative console and OAuth for Admin API
Answer: A
Explanation:
When PingAccess is integrated with PingFederate as aToken Provider, the OAuth clients already configured in PingFederate become available in PingAccess. This enables administrators toautomatically select Client IDswhen creating Web Sessions.
Exact Extract:
"When PingAccess uses PingFederate as its token provider, PingFederate OAuth clients appear automatically in PingAccess for selection during web session configuration."
* Option Ais incorrect - this refers to Admin Console authentication, which is separate.
* Option Bis incorrect - OAuth clients must be created in PingFederate, not from within PingAccess.
* Option Cis incorrect - token issuance policies are managed in PingFederate, not PingAccess.
* Option Dis correct - the Client ID dropdown is populated automatically from PingFederate.

NEW QUESTION # 29
An administrator is integrating a new PingAccess Proxied Application. The application will temporarily need a self-signed certificate during the POC/demo phase. PingAccess is terminating SSL and is responsible for loading the SSL certificate for the application.
What initial action must the administrator take in PingAccess in this situation?
- A. Go to the Key Pairs section and import the PKCS#12 file provided by the customer's internal Certificate Authority
- B. Go to the Key Pairs section and import the PKCS#12 file provided by the publicly trusted Certificate Authority
- C. Go to the Key Pairs section and create a new certificate
- D. Go to the Certificates section and create a new certificate
Answer: C
Explanation:
For SSL termination, PingAccess requires aKey Pair(certificate + private key). During a POC/demo, when a self-signed certificateis used, the administrator can create it directly in theKey Pairssection of the console.
Exact Extract:
"Use the Key Pairs section to create self-signed certificates for testing or proof-of-concept deployments. For production, import a PKCS#12 file containing a certificate chain and private key."
* Option Ais incorrect - Certificates store trust anchors (CAs), not SSL termination certs.
* Option Bis incorrect - an internal CA-signed cert requires PKCS#12 import, not self-signed creation.
* Option Cis incorrect - a publicly trusted CA is not used for a demo phase.
* Option Dis correct - creating a new certificate in Key Pairs generates a self-signed cert suitable for demos.

NEW QUESTION # 30
Where in the administrative console should an administrator make user attributes available as HTTP request headers?
- A. Site Authenticators
- B. HTTP Requests
- C. Web Sessions
- D. Identity Mappings
Answer: D
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 # 31
A company uses an internally based legacy PKI solution that does not adhere to theCertification Path Validationsection of RFC-5280. Which configuration option needs to be enabled when creating Trusted Certificate Groups in PingAccess?
- A. Validate disordered certificate chains
- B. Skip Certificate Date Check
- C. Deny when unable to determine revocation status
- D. Use Java Trust Store
Answer: A
Explanation:
Legacy PKIs often provide certificate chains that areout of orderor non-compliant with RFC-5280 path validation. PingAccess provides an option in Trusted Certificate Groups calledValidate disordered certificate chainsto allow chaining even if the order is not RFC-5280 compliant.
Exact Extract:
"EnableValidate disordered certificate chainswhen the certificate chain is not in RFC-5280 compliant order but should still be accepted."
* Option Ais incorrect; using the Java trust store is unrelated to PKI ordering.
* Option Bis correct - this setting allows PingAccess to process disordered certificate chains.
* Option Cis incorrect; date checks are unrelated to RFC-5280 path ordering.
* Option Dis incorrect; revocation status handling does not address legacy PKI ordering issues.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -Trusted Certificate Groups
NEW QUESTION # 32
An auto parts company wants to protect the path/parts/suspension/struts/manufacturer. Resources appear under an applicationContext Root of/partswith default ordering.
Which resource will the policy engine select?
- A. ///manufacturer
- B. //manufacturer
- C. //struts/manufacturer
- D. /suspension/struts/manufacturer
Answer: D
Explanation:
Because the application context root is/parts, resource paths are defined relative to it. The correct relative path is:
* /suspension/struts/manufacturer
Exact Extract:
"Resource matching begins at the context root. The most specific matching path is selected."
* Option Ais incorrect -/*/struts/manufacturerdoes not match because it starts with a wildcard, not the defined path.
* Option Bis incorrect -/*/manufacturerwould match less specifically and at a different depth.
* Option Cis correct - exact match relative to/parts.
* Option Dis incorrect - too generic and not the best match.

NEW QUESTION # 33
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 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 into Key Pairs and add it to the Trusted Certificate Group.
Answer: A
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.

NEW QUESTION # 34
What is the purpose of thepa.operational.modeconfiguration setting?
- A. To determine the role the server performs in a cluster
- B. To determine whether a server is a development or production server
- C. To determine if a server should participate in cluster replication
- D. To determine if a cluster node is enabled or disabled
Answer: A
Explanation:
Thepa.operational.modeproperty inrun.propertiesdefines therole of the nodein a PingAccess deployment (e.
g.,STANDALONE,CLUSTERED_CONSOLE,CLUSTERED_CONSOLE_REPLICA,ENGINE).
Exact Extract:
"Thepa.operational.modeproperty determines the role of the server in the cluster, such as standalone, console, console replica, or engine."
* Option Ais incorrect - replication is implicit in certain roles, not controlled directly.
* Option Bis correct - the setting specifies whether the node is admin console, replica, or engine.
* Option Cis incorrect - development vs production is not a function of this setting.
* Option Dis incorrect - it does not enable/disable nodes.
Reference:PingAccess Administration Guide -run.properties
NEW QUESTION # 35
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 # 36
An administrator must onboard a new application from the application team. The application has multiple paths that will need different rules. What would be the first step in this process?
- A. Identity mapping
- B. Application
- C. Web session
- D. Resource
Answer: B
Explanation:
All onboarding in PingAccess begins with defining anApplication. Once the application exists, the administrator can defineResourceswithin it and assign different rules to those resources.
Exact Extract:
"Before you can configure resources and rules, you must first create an application in PingAccess."
* Option A (Identity Mapping)may be required later but not the first step.
* Option B (Web Session)can be shared but is not the first onboarding step.
* Option C (Application)is correct - the starting point for onboarding.
* Option D (Resource)comes after creating the application.

NEW QUESTION # 37
An organization has a highly available PingAccess cluster with four runtime nodes. The administrator wants to provide the same availability to administrative users. What should the administrator do?
- A. Configure two active administrative nodes with engine cluster pointed to both administrative nodes for configuration
- B. Configure one active and one replica administrative node with engine cluster pointed to both administrative nodes
- C. Configure four active administrative nodes with engine cluster pointed to all administrative nodes for configuration
- D. Configure one active and three replica administrative nodes with engine cluster pointed to all administrative nodes
Answer: D
Explanation:
PingAccess supportsone primary administrative console (active)and any number ofreplica administrative consoles. Engines must be configured to connect to theactive console, with replicas available for failover.
Exact Extract:
"In a clustered environment, PingAccess supports one clustered console (active) and replica consoles. Engines can connect to any console node for high availability."
* Option Ais incomplete - only one replica limits redundancy.
* Option Bis incorrect - multiple active consoles are not supported.
* Option Cis incorrect - cannot run two active consoles.
* Option Dis correct - one active admin console with multiple replicas ensures HA.

NEW QUESTION # 39
Any user who accesses an application must be insalesunless the user is amanager in the marketing department. The administrator creates the following web session rules:
* (A) Look for department = sales
* (B) Look for department = marketing
* (C) Look for job_title = manager
Which additional actions should be taken to properly enforce this requirement?
- A. Create a Rule Set (D) to accept ANY (A) # Create a Rule Set (E) to accept ALL (B) (C) # Create a Rule Set Group (F) to accept ANY (D) (E) # Add Rule Set Group (F) to the resource
- B. Create a Rule Set (D) to accept ALL (A) (B AND C) # Add Rule Set (D) to the resource
- C. Create a Rule Set (D) to accept ANY (A) (B) (C) # Add Rule Set (D) to the resource
- D. Create a Rule Set (D) to accept ALL (A) # Create a Rule Set (E) to accept ANY (B) (C) # Create a Rule Set Group (F) to accept ALL (D) (E) # Add Rule Set Group (F) to the resource
Answer: A
Explanation:
The requirement is:
* Allow access ifuser is in sales
* OR ifuser is in marketing AND is a manager
This is logically represented as:
(A) OR (B AND C)
To configure this in PingAccess:
* Rule Set (D) = ANY (A)
* Rule Set (E) = ALL (B, C)
* Rule Set Group (F) = ANY (D, E)
* Assign Group (F) to the resource
This exactly matchesOption D.
* Option Ais incorrect - requires both A and (B AND C), which is stricter than the requirement.
* Option Bis incorrect - ANY(A, B, C) would allow users in marketing or managers without requiring both.
* Option Cis incorrect - it uses ALL(D, E), which would require both conditions instead of OR.
* Option Dis correct - it models (A OR (B AND C)).
