[All PAP-001 Questions]

The performance testing team finds that an API hosted in a remote datacenter is experiencing higher response times compared to similar APIs hosted onsite. Which option in PingAccess can be used to improve performance in this scenario?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

When APIs are remote, latency is introduced by frequent token validation requests. Enabling Cache Token on the OAuth Resource Server reduces repeated validation calls and improves performance.

Exact Extract:

''The OAuth Resource Server configuration includes a Cache Token option that improves performance by reducing round trips for token validation.''

Option A is incorrect --- key rolling affects cryptographic keys, not API latency.

Option B is incorrect --- virtual hosts control external FQDNs, not performance.

Option C is incorrect --- token attribute size does not significantly affect remote latency.

Option D is correct --- caching tokens reduces validation overhead.

Moving the API to a separate Virtual Host sounds familiar, but I can't recall if that actually improves response times.

I remember something about caching in PingAccess, so maybe enabling Cache Token on the OAuth Resource Server could be the right choice?

I think reducing the number of attributes in the ID Token might help, but I'm not entirely sure how that affects performance.
