PingAccess does not automatically generate any contents for this directory, but any files you place in it are automatically migrated during an upgrade. The contents of the `/deploy` directory are loaded by the `run.sh` or `run.bat` command. ## SDK directory The `/sdk` directory contains these files and directories. | File/Directory | Description | | -------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `README.md` | Contains an overview of the SDK contents. | | `/samples/README.md` | Contains an overview of the steps necessary to build and use the samples. | | `/samples/Rules` | Contains a Maven project with example plug-in implementations for rules showing a wide range of functionality.
