Running a PingAuthorize Policy Editor container ¶

A PingAuthorize Policy Editor may be set up in one of two modes:

Demo mode: Uses insecure username/password authentication.
OIDC mode: Uses an OpenID Connect provider for authentication.

To run a PingAuthorize Policy Editor container in demo mode:

  docker run \
           --name pingauthorizepap \
           --env PING_EXTERNAL_BASE_URL=my-pap-hostname:8443 \
           --publish 8443:1443 \
           --detach \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_ACCEPT_EULA=YES \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_USER \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_KEY \
           --tmpfs /run/secrets \
           pingidentity/pingauthorizepap:edge

Log in with:

https://my-pap-hostname:8443/
- Username: admin
- Password: password123

To run a PingAuthorize Policy Editor container in OpenID Connect mode, specify the PING_OIDC_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT and PING_CLIENT_ID environment variables:

  docker run \
           --name pingauthorizepap \
           --env PING_EXTERNAL_BASE_URL=my-pe-hostname:8443 \
           --env PING_OIDC_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT=https://my-oidc-provider/.well-known/openid-configuration \
           --env PING_CLIENT_ID=b1929abc-e108-4b4f-83d467059fa1 \
           --publish 8443:1443 \
           --detach \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_ACCEPT_EULA=YES \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_USER \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_KEY \
           --tmpfs /run/secrets \
           pingidentity/pingauthorizepap:edge

Note: If both PING_OIDC_CONFIGURATION_ENDPOINT and PING_CLIENT_ID are not specified, then the PingAuthorize Policy Editor will be set up in demo mode.

Log in with:

https://my-pap-hostname:8443/
- Provide credentials as prompted by the OIDC provider

Follow Docker logs with:

docker logs -f pingauthorizepap

Specifying the external hostname and port ¶

The Policy Editor consists of a client-side application that runs in the user's web browser and a backend REST API service that runs within the container. So that the client-side application can successfully make API calls to the backend, the Policy Editor must be configured with an externally accessible hostname:port. If the Policy Editor is configured in OIDC mode, then the external hostname:port pair is also needed so that the Policy Editor can correctly generate its OIDC redirect URI.

Use the PING_EXTERNAL_BASE_URL environment variable to specify the Policy Editor's external hostname and port using the form hostname[:port], where hostname is the hostname of the Docker host and port is the Policy Editor container's published port. If the published port is 443, then it should be omitted.

For example:

  docker run \
           --name pingauthorizepap \
           --env PING_EXTERNAL_BASE_URL=my-pap-hostname:8443 \
           --publish 8443:1443 \
           --detach \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_ACCEPT_EULA=YES \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_USER \
           --env PING_IDENTITY_DEVOPS_KEY \
           --tmpfs /run/secrets \
           pingidentity/pingauthorizepap:edge

Changing the default periodic database backup schedule and location ¶

The PAP performs periodic backups of the policy database. The results are placed in the policy-backup directory underneath the instance root.

Use the PING_BACKUP_SCHEDULE environment variable to specify the PAP's periodic database backup schedule in the form of a cron expression. The cron expression will be evaluated against the container timezone, UTC. Use the PING_H2_BACKUP_DIR environment variable to change the backup output directory.

For example, to perform backups daily at UTC noon and place backups in /opt/out/backup:

  docker run \
           --name pingauthorizepap \
           --env PING_EXTERNAL_BASE_URL=my-pap-hostname:8443 \
           --env PING_BACKUP_SCHEDULE="0 0 12 * * ?" \
           --env PING_H2_BACKUP_DIR=/opt/out/backup \
           --publish 8443:1443 \
           --detach \
           pingidentity/pingauthorizepap:edge
