In a clustered environment, each node has a unique run.properties file. Because changes to the run.properties file can significantly impact performance, use an identical run.properties configuration on all engine nodes.

Note:

Changes made to the run.properties file will take effect after the PingAccess service is restarted on the given node.

Tip:

When storing passwords in run.properties, you should obfuscate them using the obfuscate.bat or obfuscate.sh utility to mask the password value. This utility is located in the <PA_HOME>/bin folder.

If you are running PingAccess in FIPS mode, all SSL cipher and protocol settings in the run.properties file are ignored. See Managing Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode for information about the protocols and ciphers used in this mode.

Operational mode

For more information about operational modes in PingAccess, see the following guides.

pa.operational.mode
Controls the operational mode of the PingAccess server in a cluster. Valid values are:
Value Description
STANDALONE Use this value for a standalone (unclustered) PingAccess instance that runs both the administrative console and the engine. This is the default value.
CLUSTERED_CONSOLE Use this value for the server instance you want to use as the administrative console server.
Info: Only one engine in a cluster can run the administrative console.
CLUSTERED_CONSOLE_REPLICA Use this value for the server instance you want to use as the backup administrative console server.
CLUSTERED_ENGINE Use this value to indicate a server engine.
Note:

Define the following Engine and Admin properties depending on what operational mode an engine is using.

  • Define all Engine and Admin properties when pa.operational.mode is set to STANDALONE.
  • Define only the Admin properties when using CLUSTERED_CONSOLE or CLUSTERED_CONSOLE_REPLICA mode.
  • Define only the Engine properties when using CLUSTERED_ENGINE mode.

For more information about administrative properties, see the following guides.

admin.bindAddress
Defines the IP address that admin.port will bind to. This is typically required on multihomed servers having multiple IP addresses. The default value of 0.0.0.0 means that the port will bind to all of the server's IP addresses.
admin.ssl.protocols
Defines the protocols for use with administrative HTTPS ports. The default value is ${tls.default.protocols}, which uses the protocols specified by the tls.default.protocols parameter.
admin.ssl.ciphers
Defines the type of cryptographic ciphers available for use with administrative HTTPS ports. The default value is ${tls.default.cipherSuites}, which uses the ciphers specified by the tls.default.cipherSuites parameter.
admin.acceptors
Defines the number of admin acceptor threads used to establish connections. The default value is 1.
admin.backlog
Defines the maximum queue length for incoming admin connection indications. The default value is 512.

The default value is default. A value of native overrides the administrator authentication method, meaning that only the local administrator credentials can be used to access the PingAccess console.

The PORTABLE_INSECURE value uses a randomly generated key for each export and includes the key in the export data. This method allows the exported data to be imported anywhere, including another cluster with a different master key, but since it includes the key it can present a significant security risk.
