Symantec VIP Integration Kit

Deploying the integration files

To get started with the integration, deploy the Symantec VIP integration kit files to your PingFederate directory.

Before you begin

Download the Symantec VIP integration kit .zip archive from the Add-ons tab of the PingFederate downloads page.

Steps

  1. Stop PingFederate, if it’s running.

  2. If you’re upgrading an existing deployment, back up your customizations and delete previous versions of the integration files:

    1. Back up any Symantec VIP integration kit files that you customized in <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/.

    2. Delete the pf-vip-idp-adapter-<version>.jar file from <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/deploy.

  3. Extract the .zip archive and copy the contents of the dist directory to <pf_install>.

  4. If there is more than one version of the pf-authn-api-sdk-<version>.jar file in your <pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/lib directory, delete all but the latest version of the file.

  5. If you backed up any customized files, modify the new files with your customizations.

  6. Start PingFederate.

  7. If you operate PingFederate in a cluster, repeat steps 2 - 7 for each engine node.
