Note:

Customized authentication challenge responses, which support single-page applications, are available in PingAccess version 6.2 or later. Applications with this type of policy can be added to PingCentral, but cannot be promoted to another environment unless the authentication challenge policy also exists in the target environment.

  1. To promote the application to an environment, click the Expand icon associated with the application, select the Promote tab, and click Promote.
    Note:

    If an environment is offline or if a PingCentral administrator has set the environment status to Disabled, you will be unable to promote the application to a disabled or offline environment.

  2. From the Available Environments list, select the environment to which you want to promote the application.
    Note:

    If you have the Application Owner role, you cannot promote applications to protected environments, which have shield icons associated with them.

  3. On the Configure Promotion page, click in the Virtual Hosts field, and select the virtual hosts you want to add.

    To remove a virtual host, click the X icon next to the virtual host name.

  4. Complete the remaining fields, which vary, depending on the type of application you are promoting.
