Configuring API applications in PingAccess

For each of the API proxies for which you attached the shared flow, configure a corresponding application in PingAccess.

  2. Enter a Name, and then enter the Context Root and select or create the Virtual Host(s) values to match how the application’s APIs are exposed from your Apigee environment.
