PingGateway

Starting and stopping PingGateway

Start PingGateway with default settings

When you start PingGateway, specify the configuration directory where PingGateway looks for configuration files.

  1. Start PingGateway:

    Linux

    /path/to/identity-gateway-2025.6.0/bin/start.sh

    Windows

    C:\path\to\identity-gateway-2025.6.0\bin\start.bat

    By default, PingGateway configuration files are located under $HOME/.openig on Linux, %appdata%\OpenIG on Windows. Learn how to use a different location in Configuration location.

  2. Check that PingGateway is running in one of the following ways:

    • Check the PingGateway endpoint at http://ig.example.com:8085/health/startup to make sure PingGateway it returns HTTP 200 OK.

      If PingGateway hasn’t finished starting up or is shutting down, the endpoint returns HTTP 503 Service Unavailable.

    • Display the product version and build information at http://ig.example.com:8085/api/info.

Stop PingGateway

Use the stop.sh or stop.bat script to stop an instance of PingGateway, specifying the instance directory as an argument.

If the instance directory isn’t specified, PingGateway uses the default instance directory as in these examples:

Linux

/path/to/identity-gateway-2025.6.0/bin/stop.sh $HOME/.openig

Windows

C:\path\to\identity-gateway-2025.6.0\bin\stop.bat %appdata%\OpenIG
