PingFederate Application Policy API
PingID allows organizations to create web authentication policies, and apply them to one or more applications, or one or more user groups, or both. See Manage app and group lists in the PingID admin guide.
The PingID API provides operations for you to programmatically create, retrieve, update and delete entries in the PingFederate applications list. These operations provide the flexibility for batch or mass application updates, as an alternative to manual updates of individual applications via the admin UI. After the API operations are successfully completed and committed, the updated PingFederate application list is visible by refreshing the admin UI.
AddApplication
The AddApplication operation creates a new application entry in the PingFederate applications list.
