Question 1
An administrator needs to configure a signed JWT identity mapping for an application that expects to be able to validate the signature. Which endpoint does the application need to access to validate the signature?
- AOption A:
/pa/authtoken/JWKS
- BOption B:
/pa-admin-api/v3/identityMappinga/descriptora/jwtidentitymapping
- COption C:
/pa/aidc/cb
- DOption D:
/pa-admin-api/v3/authTokenManagement
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
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.
