Seamless Access Enforcement for Your Web and Java Applications
PingAM Java and Web Agents bring centralized access control directly to your application layer—enforcing authentication, authorization, and session policies without code changes. Whether deployed on legacy web servers or modern Java containers, PingAM Agents integrate tightly with PingAM to deliver consistent, secure, and low-latency access decisions. This enables organizations to modernize access control, support Zero Trust, and streamline access management with minimal disruption.
- Centralized Policy Enforcement
Enforce authentication and authorization policies consistently across all web and Java applications. - No Code Changes Required
Deploy secure access control without modifying application code, reducing integration time and risk. - Tight Integration with PingAM
Leverage policy decisions and SSO from your existing PingAM infrastructure for unified access control. - Low Latency, High Performance
Enforce policies at the app layer with minimal performance impact for real-time access decisions. - Granular Session and Resource Control
Enforce session management and fine-grained access at the URL or method level to match security requirements. - Enterprise-Scale Proven
Trusted by large enterprises to manage secure access across thousands of apps and diverse infrastructure. - Broad Platform Compatibility
Supports a wide range of web servers and Java containers including Apache, IIS, Tomcat, WebLogic, JBoss, and more.
Key Features
Pre-Built Policy Enforcement Points (PEPs)
Deploy agents as plug-ins to enforce access policies directly within supported web and Java application servers.
Single Sign-On (SSO) Integration
Enable seamless user authentication and session propagation across multiple protected resources.
Fine-Grained URL and Method Protection
Control access at the level of specific web paths, HTTP methods, or Java functions.
Flexible Authentication Enforcement
Trigger authentication workflows based on request context, resource sensitivity, or user attributes.
Secure Session and Token Management
Validate, manage, and propagate secure tokens and sessions between protected applications.
FIPS 140-3 Compliant
Supports deployment in FIPS mode to meet stringent federal and industry security standards for cryptographic operations.
