pingcli pingfederate authentication-policies policy template

Generate an Authentication Policy JSON template

Synopsis

Generate a JSON skeleton template for Authentication Policy create/replace request bodies. Set rootNode.action.type to a valid action type (for example, AUTHN_SOURCE, CONTINUE, DONE, or FRAGMENT).

pingcli pingfederate authentication-policies policy template [flags]

Examples

  # Generate a template and save to a file
  pingcli pingfederate authentication-policies policy template > body.json

  # Edit the template, then update the Authentication Policy
  pingcli pingfederate authentication-policies policy replace --id policy-id --from-file body.json
Use the JSON template as a starting point:
  1. Run the template command to generate the body skeleton.
  2. Edit the file, replacing placeholder values with real data.
  3. Feed the edited file back to the create or replace action via --from-file.

Example workflow:
  pingcli pingfederate authentication-policies policy template > body.json
  # edit body.json
  pingcli pingfederate authentication-policies policy create --from-file body.json
