Ping Identity PAP-001 Exam - Topic 2 Question 2 Discussion

Actual exam question for Ping Identity's PAP-001 exam

Question #: 2
Topic #: 2

A PingAccess administrator needs to configure PingAccess to validate tokens. Which two options can the administrator use? (Choose 2 answers)

APingFederate

BKerberos

CCommon SAML provider

DCommon OIDC provider

EPingAuthorize

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, D

PingAccess validates access tokens using Access Token Managers, which are typically backed by PingFederate or a generic 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.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the Common OIDC provider could be the right choice too.

I think PingFederate is definitely one of the options since it deals with token validation, but I'm not sure about the second one.

Okay, let's think this through. PingFederate and common OIDC provider both deal with identity and access management, so those seem like good options to consider.
