• Ensure the installation requirements are met.
  • Ensure you are signed on to your system with appropriate privileges to install and run an application.
    Note:

    On Linux, install and run PingAccess as a non-root user.

  • Install a supported Java runtime.
  • The system or user environment variable JAVA_HOME must exist and be set to a value that represents the location of your Java installation, such as usr/java/jdk 1.8.0_74.
  • The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) /bin directory (for example, usr/lib64/jvm/jre/bin) path must be added to the PATH variable so it is available for scripts that depend on it.
  • You must have a pingaccess.lic license file.
    Note:

    If you do not have a PingAccess license, you can request an evaluation key at https://support.pingidentity.com/s/. During the first run of PingAccess, you will be prompted to upload the license file.

    If you are using an existing configuration file to configure the system, copy the configuration file to the system and rename it data.json. For more information about exporting the configuration from an existing system, see Exporting PingAccess configurations.

  • If you are using an existing configuration file to configure the system, copy the configuration file to the system and rename it data.json. See Exporting PingAccess configurations for more information about exporting the configuration from an existing system. This option is available only for standalone or administrative nodes.
  1. Download the distribution .zip file.
  2. Extract the distribution .zip file into your installation directory.
  3. Optional: If you are using an existing configuration file to configure the system, move the data.json file to the <PA_Home>/data/start-up-deployer directory.
    Note:

    When you start PingAccess for the first time, if this configuration is present it will be imported. After a successful import, the data.json file is deleted. If the configuration is present but cannot be imported, PingAccess is not started.

    Tip:

    If you are deploying PingAccess in a cluster configuration, see the configuration documentation.

Access the administrative console to complete the configuration.
