PingOne

Starting a gateway instance as a standalone Java application

Download a gateway bundle and run it on a local computer as a Java application.

Before you begin

  • If you have a valid gateway credential, have it ready. Alternatively, you can create a new credential on the Overview tab in the gateway details. Learn more in Creating or revoking a gateway credential.

  • Install Java 21 LTS on the computer that will run the gateway.

  • Create a JAVA_HOME system environment variable that points to the directory that contains the bin directory from the Java distribution.

About this task

Run the application on a computer that can reach your LDAP directory and PingOne.

  6. Follow the instructions in the README.txt file to configure the run.properties file, including providing the gateway credential information.

  7. Optional: To configure an LDAP Gateway client application to use a forward web proxy server to handle traffic between the gateway and PingOne, provide access information into the run.properties file.

    • You must configure the web proxy settings locally per each running instance. For example, if you’re running two gateway client applications, you must configure web proxy settings in both instances.

    • Digest authentication does not support international characters.

    • Basic authentication requires configuration in the proxy server to support international characters.

  8. Sign on to the computer with administrator privileges.

  9. At a command prompt, run the bin\run.bat file for Windows or the bin/run.sh file for Linux.
