Therun.propertiesfile in PingAccess is the primary configuration file that defines system-level runtime behavior. According to PingAccess documentation:
“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.propertiesdefines 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 inlog4j2.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.
