Installation requirements

Review the following software, documentation, and server requirements.

Docker images

The setup requires the Community Version (CE) of Docker 18.09 or later. Make sure that the Docker infrastructure is set up before proceeding with installation and setup of the PingIntelligence for APIs software.

  5. Google Go App server

PingIntelligence license

You must have a PingIntelligence for APIs license to start ASE and ABS. Contact the Ping Identity sales team to access the trial license.

Postman reporting

ABS generates various REST application programming interface (API) reports. You can view these reports using the Postman client or any other REST API client. PingIntelligence provides a Postman collection to view the various ABS reports.

Download the Postman client from the Postman site.
