Outbound static IP addresses
Ping Identity allocates outbound static IP addresses to each of your development, staging, and production tenant environments (and to any sandbox[1] and UAT[2] tenant environments). This lets you identify network traffic originating from PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud and from individual environments within Advanced Identity Cloud.
Having static IP addresses for outbound requests lets you implement IP allowlisting in your enterprise network. Some examples of IP allowlisting are:
-
Adding IP addresses to your firewall settings to restrict access to your internal APIs
-
Adding IP addresses to your email server settings so emails sent from Advanced Identity Cloud are not marked as spam
FAQ
Why would I need to know my outbound static IP addresses?
