Custom WAM plug-in installation

About this task

This section describes how to deploy a custom WAM plug-in for both IdP and SP adapters.

Steps

  1. If you are creating a WAM plug-in for a third-party WAM product not bundled with this kit, you must complete the tasks in the WAM plug-in SDK <integration_kit_install_dir>/sdk/README.txt file.

    Contact the third-party vendor support department to obtain required third-party API libraries for creating a WAM plug-in to interact with PingFederate.

  2. After completing the tasks in the WAM plug-in SDK README.txt file, copy the resultant WAM plug-in output JAR file (<integration_kit_install_dir>SDK/lib/pf-<WAM_TYPE>-plugin.jar) to the <PF-install>/pingfederate/server/default/deploy directory.

Result

The WAM Integration Kit requires a plug-in to connect with a specific WAM product (see the WAM plug-in SDK in the distribution package for sample code and more details on building the plug-in). The SDK consists of build scripts, libraries, and sample code.

The WAM plug-in SDK is designed specifically to connect the WAM Integration Kit with a third-party WAM product, using an API provided by the vendor.
