Ping Identity Devops

The pingctl Utility

pingctl has been deprecated and is no longer being maintained. It is recommended to use the Ping CLI utility under active development and support.

With few exceptions, many pingctl commands can be replicated using the pingcli utility, with gaps being addressed based on prioritization.

pingctl is our general DevOps command-line utility.
