Version 2.0 – February 2019

  • The PingAccess Agent for NGINX leverages the built-in, event-driven HTTP stack in NGINX to communicate with PingAccess policy servers. Previously, the agent used its own HTTP client (implemented with libcurl) to communicate with PingAccess policy servers. In certain cases, this architecture lead to poor scalability. By using NGINX’s built-in, event-driven HTTP stack, the agent is able to achieve superior scalability over previous versions.
