Preparing PingAuthorize for Konnect integration

For Kong Konnect to use PingAuthorize as an external authorization policy runtime service, you must prepare PingAuthorize to receive authorization requests from Kong Konnect.

Steps

  1. In the PingAuthorize admin console, go to Configuration > Web Services and Applications > HTTP Servlet Extensions.

  2. Click Sideband API.

  3. In the Request Context Method list, select State.

    Screen capture of the "Sideband API" screen in the administrative console with the Request Context Method set to state, the Shared Secret Header Name set to CLIENT-TOKEN, and Kong Konnect added as the selected Shared Secret.

  4. In the Shared Secret Header Name field, enter CLIENT-TOKEN.

  5. To create a new shared secret, in the Shared Secret Header Name list, select New Sideband API Shared Secret.

  6. In the New Sideband API Shared Secret modal, create a suitably long shared secret value, and then click Save.

  7. Click Save.
