API gateways

An API gateway in PingOne Authorize defines the connection between your API gateway and PingOne Authorize and authenticates your API gateway to PingOne.

Ping Identity provides integration kits for third-party API gateways that make it easier for you to manage access control in your APIs. Working with the integration kit in your API gateway, PingOne Authorize uses the best practices of OAuth to manage API access control across these distributed systems.

PingOne Authorize also integrates natively with PingGateway, enabling you to apply low-code access controls for APIs and web applications. Learn more about integrating PingOne Authorize with PingGateway in the PingGateway documentation.

For seamless policy-based access control for your HTTP APIs, configure an integration with PingOne Authorize to have your API gateway enforce authorization rules managed in PingOne Authorize. In addition to configuring an API gateway integration, you can edit or delete an API gateway, or rotate a gateway credential.
