Changing the Policy Editor authentication mode for manual installs
About this task
To change the authentication mode that a manually installed PingAuthorize Policy Editor uses, re-run the setup
tool and choose a different authentication mode. This action overwrites the PingAuthorize Policy Editor’s existing configuration.
Steps
-
Stop the Policy Editor.
Example:
$ bin/stop-server
-
Run the
setup
command and select a different authentication mode.The modes are:
-
Demo mode
Configures the PingAuthorize Policy Editor to use form-based authentication with a fixed set of credentials. Unlike OIDC mode, this mode does not require an external authentication server. However, it is inherently insecure and is recommended only for demonstration purposes.
-
OpenID Connect (OIDC) mode
Configures the PingAuthorize Policy Editor to delegate authentication and sign-on services to an OpenID Connect provider, such as PingFederate.
Example:
$ bin/setup
-
-
Start the Policy Editor.
Example:
$ bin/start-server
