In order to work with the API, you need to authenticate just as you would for performing administrative tasks. To interact directly with the API in the browser and view the documentation, typically you would browse to the following URL: + +`https://:9999/pf-admin-api/api-docs/` + +where **** is the network address of your PingFederate server. This target can be an IP address, a host name, or a fully qualified domain name. It must be reachable from your computer. + +If using OIDC, see the [OIDC Authentication](https://docs.pingidentity.com/r/en-us/pingfederate-110/pf_enabling_oidc_based_auth) page for more information on how to connect. + +!!! note "Web console only" + OIDC is only available for web console access and is not supported by the provider. + +When using a local container as shown above, the port mappings result in PingFederate being available at `https://localhost:9999/pingfederate/app#/` by default. The provider supports an attribute `admin_api_path` which defaults to **/pf-admin-api/v1**. If your environment has a load balancer or other network configuration that requires a different path to the API, you can configure the provider to use it. + +The PingFederate Terraform provider applies configuration at the API endpoints using the specified port (`9999`) over HTTPS when accessing the product locally under Docker. + +## Determine credentials that are able to configure the server + +The configuration API connection established by the provider uses basic authentication. The provider will need the username and password of a user with permission to manage server configuration. + +In the PingFederate Docker image, the administrative user defaults to the username `administrator` with password `2FederateM0re`. + +## Determine what version of PingFederate you are running + +The provider requires that the version of PingFederate is specified. + +You can do this one of two ways: + +* Using the `product_version` attribute when configuring the provider: + +```shell +provider "pingfederate" { + ... + product_version = "12.0.0" +} +``` + +* Setting the `PING_PRODUCT_VERSION` environment variable to the version of PingFederate you are running: + +```shell +export PING_PRODUCT_VERSION=12.0.0 +``` + +If using the container, you can view the product version using by running a shell in the container and searching for the appropriate environment variable: + +```shell +docker container exec -it pingfederate_terraform_provider_container /bin/sh + +# In the container shell, get the version +env | grep PING_PRODUCT_VERSION +``` + +!!! note "Precedence" + The `product_version` attribute takes precedence over the `PING_PRODUCT_VERSION` environment variable. + +If neither is set, the provider will throw an error. + +## Trusting PingFederate certificates + +PingFederate generates a self-signed certificate by default, which is presented by the server when connecting. +The default self-signed certificate can also be replaced with a custom certificate. The provider has a few ways of configuring trust for the HTTPS connection with the server. + +By default, the provider will trust the host's default root CA set when connecting to the server. + +If you need to provide CA certificates for the provider to trust, you can use the `ca_certificate_pem_files` attribute. This attribute supports providing a set of paths to files containing PEM-encoded CA certificates to be trusted. + +The `PINGFEDERATE_PROVIDER_CA_CERTIFICATE_PEM_FILES` environment variable can also be used, with commas to delimit multiple PEM file paths if necessary. + +Finally, the provider supports an `insecure_trust_all_tls` boolean attribute that enables it to trust all certificates when connecting to the server. + +!!! warning "Insecure Trust All TLS" + The `insecure_trust_all_tls` flag, when set to `true`, is insecure and is intended for development and testing only.
