# PingAccess Add-on SDK for Java

The PingAccess Add-on SDK provides extension points that let users customize certain behaviors of PingAccess to suit their needs. This SDK provides the means to develop, compile, and deploy custom extensions to PingAccess.

The PingAccess Add-on SDK provides the following extension points:

* RuleInterceptor

  An interface for developing custom rule implementations to control authorization logic in policies.

* SiteAuthenticatorInterceptor

  An interface for developing custom site authenticators to control how PingAccess, operating as a proxy, integrates with web servers or services it's protecting.

* IdentityMappingPlugin

  An interface for developing custom identity mappings to provide user identity information to an application within PingAccess.

* LoadBalancingPlugin

  An interface for developing custom load balancing strategies that provide the logic for load balancing requests to target hosts configured for a Site.

* LocaleOverrideService

  An interface for developing custom logic for resolving the locale of a request used for localization.
