Ping Advanced Identity Software

Release notes

Ping Advanced Identity Software provides a comprehensive security solution with access management, identity management, user-managed access, directory services, an identity gateway, and more. Advanced Identity Software offers maximum extensibility and flexibility in self-managed deployments.

Ping Advanced Identity Software was formerly known as the Ping Identity Platform.

These release notes provide information on self-managed deployments of the following products:

  • PingAM

  • PingIDM

  • PingDS

  • PingGateway

If you don’t need maximum extensibility and flexibility, there are simpler alternatives to a self-managed solution:

  • To consume Ping Advanced Identity Software as a service, use PingOne or Advanced Identity Cloud instead.

  • To deploy Ping Advanced Identity Software in Kubernetes, start with the ForgeOps reference implementation.

For help with your deployment and to validate your plans before deploying in production, contact Ping Identity Support.
