The PingAuthorize Policy Editor provides testing capabilities to evaluate test authorization requests against any or all policy nodes.
To specify the nodes to test policies against, select the root node from the tree on the left side of the page.
In the following example, the evaluation runs against all policies because the root policy set is selected.
Select the following main elements to form a request:
- Domain
- Service
- IdP
- Action
If the information endpoints that your attribute resolvers require are running, click Execute. If your endpoints are not running or are otherwise unavailable, as is often the case in development, use the Overrides section to provide stubbed values for the attributes and services that might be required during evaluation. This step overrides the attribute resolution and uses these values instead.
After a request is evaluated, you will see the following set of result tabs:
- Request – Shows the actual JSON request sent to the policy engine.
- Response – Contains the complete, high-verbosity response for the decision.
- Attributes – Contains an expandable list of the attributes executed as part of the test.
- Services – Contains an expandable list of the services executed as part of the test.
- Visualisation – Contains a visual representation of the decision tree.
- Output – Provides a summary of the decision.
