PingAccess Provider

The PingAccess provider is used to interact with the many resources supported by the PingAccess admin API. The provider needs to be configured with the proper credentials before it can be used.

Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.

Example Usage

# Configure the PingAccess Provider
provider "pingaccess" {
  username = "Administrator"
  password = "2Access"
  base_url = "https://localhost:9000"
  context  = "/pa-admin-api/v3"
}

# Create a site
resource "pingaccess_site" "site" {
  # ...
}

Authentication

The PingAccess provider offers a flexible means of providing credentials for authentication. The following methods are supported, in this order, and explained below:

  • Static credentials

  • Environment variables

Static credentials

Static credentials can be provided by adding an username and password in-line in the PingAccess provider block:

Usage:

provider "pingaccess" {
  username = "Administrator"
  password = "2Access"
  base_url = "https://localhost:9000"
  context  = "/pa-admin-api/v3"
}

Environment variables

You can provide your credentials via the PINGACCESS_USERNAME, PINGACCESS_PASSWORD, PINGACCESS_CONTEXT and PINGACCESS_BASEURL environment variables.

provider "pingaccess" {}

$ export PINGACCESS_USERNAME="Administrator"
$ export PINGACCESS_PASSWORD="top_secret"
