# PingAccess application promotions

The information required to promote PingAccess web applications, API applications, and Web + API applications to PingAccess environments varies by type and includes:

* **Virtual host**: The public-facing host name and host port required to promote all applications. For example, den.ping.com:8443.

* **Access validation method**: If the application is an API or Web + API application, owners can specify the access validation method, whether it be a token provider or a token validator, if appropriate.

* **Web session**: If the application is a Web + API application, owners are required to select a web session from a drop-down list. This information isn't required to promote web or API applications.

* **Identity mapping**: Owners can select identity mappings from drop-down lists for web, API, and Web + API applications.

* **Site** or **Agent** name: Owners specify the name of the site for gateway deployments and the name of the agent in an agent deployment.

To learn more about this process, see [Promoting PingAccess applications](../pingcentral_for_application_owners/pingcentral_promoting_pa_apps.html) in the *PingCentral for Application Owners guide*.
