Security

Secure PingIDM deployments.

Starting with IDM 8.1, the legacy admin UI is deprecated and is no longer bundled with IDM. New deployments should use the Platform admin UI, which is the replacement for the legacy admin UI.

Both UIs are available as separate downloads from the Backstage download site:

To install the Platform admin UI, follow the steps in Install the Platform admin UI for standalone IDM.
To continue using the legacy admin UI, follow the steps in Install the legacy admin UI.

Out-of-the-box, IDM is set up for ease of development and deployment. When you deploy IDM in production, there are specific precautions you should take to minimize security breaches. This guide describes the IDM security mechanisms and strategies you can use to reduce risk and mitigate threats to IDM security.

Certificates and keys

Manage secrets, certificates, and keys.

Passwords
