This section summarizes the key processes involved in API Enforcer Enforcer (ASE) installation.
A new ASE installation involves the following steps:
- Understanding and determining ASE deployment modes.
- Provisioning the host system based on the number of APIs and the expected queries
per second (QPS).
For information on sizing, contact the Ping Identity support team.
- Reviewing port requirements.
- Installing ASE.
- Copying ASE license.
- Changing default settings.
- Obfuscating keys and passwords.
- Tuning host system for high performance.
- Starting ASE.
- Configuring SSL for client-side connection or external APIs
Note:
ASE cluster setup facilitates high availability and increases both performance and overall system throughput. It is recommended to set up a cluster of ASE nodes for production environments. For more information on setting up an ASE cluster, see Setting up an ASE cluster (optional) and Administering an ASE cluster.
After Installation
After installing ASE, proceed with the following tasks:
- Configuring ASE: ASE system-level configuration entails modifying parameters in the ase.conf file located in the config directory. For more information, see Sideband ASE configuration or Inline ASE configuration
- Configuring deployment method: PingIntelligence supports on-premise deployment. For more information, see Configure deployment method.
