Kong Konnect integration

Ping Identity’s integration kit for Kong Konnect extends Kong’s authorization capabilities through an external policy evaluation service.

Integration with Kong Konnect allows centralized management of API access control and application protection in PingAuthorize while delegating enforcement to Kong Konnect. Learn more about how traffic flows through Kong Konnect and PingAuthorize in PingAuthorize Integrations.

Configure the integration kit in Kong Konnect to enable management of access control rules in PingAuthorize. The same kit supports both Kong Gateway and Kong Konnect.

Support for Kong Konnect is available in version 1.0.8 and later of the ping-auth plugin.

To configure the integration kit:

Prepare PingAuthorize for Kong Konnect integration.
Add the ping-auth plugin to your Kong Konnect control plane.
Upload ping-auth plugin files to each data plane node.
Configure the ping-auth plugin in Kong Konnect.
