Ping Target

You can define a Ping target to be used with Ping Dynamic Secrets.

Working with Ping Targets in the CLI

Create a Ping Target in the CLI

To create a Ping target from the CLI, run the following command:

akeyless target create ping \
--name <Target name> \
--ping-url <Ping url> \
--privileged-user <Username> \
--password <Password>

Where:

  • name: A unique name of the target. The name can include the path to the virtual folder where you want to create the new target, using slash / separators. If the folder does not exist, it will be created together with the target.

  • ping-url: The Ping service URL.

  • privileged-user: A username of a user on your Ping service that may create OAuth Clients through Ping Federate Administrative API.

  • password: The password of the privileged user.

You can find the complete list of parameters for this command in the CLI Reference - Akeyless Targets section.

Update a Ping Target in the CLI

You may update the target information using the same parameters with the following command:

akeyless update-ping-target

If you wish to change the target name, add a new-name parameter.
