Policy Decision Service configuration
You can configure the Policy Decision Service for either of the following policy decision environments:
- Development environment (external)
-
Policies are developed in the Policy Editor. The Policy Editor serves as the external policy decision point (PDP), and the PingAuthorize Server serves as the policy enforcement point (PEP).
Learn more about configuring the Policy Decision Service for development environments in Configuring external PDP mode.
- Pre-production and production environments (embedded)
-
Policies are developed in the Policy Editor and deployed to the PingAuthorize Server, which serves as both the PEP and the PDP. This configuration supports policy testing in pre-production environments and live policy decisions in production environments.
