Adding PingAuthorize access control rules

Add an access control rule to contact PingAuthorize for access information.

Before you begin

  • Create a third-party service with PingAuthorize configured as the target. For more information, see Adding third-party services.

  • Confirm that you are not using the agent model. PingAuthorize access control rules aren’t available for agent deployments.

About this task

An access control rule can grant or deny access, and can modify the request, based on the response from the PingAuthorize request application programming interface (API).

The PingAuthorize sideband API cannot accept gzipped data from upstream server responses. Ensure that upstream server requests add or replace the Accept-Encoding header with Accept-Encoding: identity to prevent the upstream server from sending compressed responses.

To add a PingAuthorize access control rule:

Steps

  1. Click Access and then go to Rules → Rules.

  2. Click Add Rule.

  6. In the Shared Secret field, enter the shared secret from PingAuthorize.

    This option is selected by default.

    1. Optional: In the Sideband Endpoint field, enter the sideband API endpoint location.
