Product PingAuthorize 9.1 Content Type Product documentation

To use automatic backend discovery, the PingAuthorize Server must be a member of the same topology of each backend PingDirectory Server.

You can join a PingAuthorize Server to a PingDirectory Server topology at the time that you set it up or after setup using the manage-topology command.

For information about these options, see:
  • Joining a topology at setup
  • Joining a topology with manage-topology
