API gateways

An API gateway in PingOne Authorize defines the connection between your API gateway and PingOne Authorize and authenticates your API gateway to PingOne.

Ping Identity provides integration kits for API gateways that make it easier for you to manage access control in your API. PingOne Authorize works with the integration kit in your API gateway, using the best practices of OAuth to manage API access control across these distributed systems.

For seamless policy-based access control for your HTTP APIs, install and configure an integration kit in your API gateway to have it enforce authorization rules managed in PingOne Authorize.
