Ping Infrastructure Analyzer
A lean discovery & scoring framework for legacy Ping Identity estates—built to accelerate modernization planning and reduce unknown migration risk before cutover.
- Zero Downtime Prep
- Topology Map
- Customization Risk
- Token Surface
- Policy Complexity
Why Analyze First?
Most overruns in Ping modernization stem from hidden coupling: bespoke authentication sources, brittle token mapping chains, non-standard attribute transforms, and unbounded policy expansion. The analyzer surfaces measurable migration drag factors so you can prioritize remediation before incremental cutover.
- Complexity index across federation + access layers
- Prioritized modernization backlog (high leverage items first)
- Risk-weighted sequencing & rollback boundary hints
- Attribute & claim normalization starting point
Key Signals Collected
Federation connection topology extraction
Adapter & IdP mapping (SAML / OIDC / WS-Fed)
Token & assertion claim surface snapshot
Access control & policy rule density metrics
Directory schema delta & attribute cardinality
Customization hotspot risk scoring
Methodology (Read-Only)
- Read-only discovery of Ping components (no config mutation)
- Fingerprint adapters, authentication sources & contract usage
- Collect non-sensitive shape metadata (counts, types, patterns)
- Generate modernization & migration risk vectors
- Produce sequencing recommendations + rollback guardrail notes
Scoring Dimensions
Topology Density
Connection & adapter fan-out vs environment scale.
Customization Risk
Scripted chains & extension points needing refactor.
Token Surface Variability
Claim schema divergence affecting consumer alignment.
Directory Schema Drift
Non-standard attributes, high cardinality fields, null volatility.
Policy Volume & Overlap
Rule redundancy & consolidation potential.
Modernization Leverage
Impact vs effort ordering for early wins.
Deliverables
- Executive Summary: Complexity index, critical blockers, fast-path wins.
- Architecture Delta Map: Target vs current component responsibility shift.
- Normalization Matrix: Attribute / claim canonical mapping starter.
- Sequencing Blueprint: Staged decomposition & validation gates.
- Risk Register: Ranked mitigation plan with rollback triggers.
Data Handling & Limitations
The analyzer intentionally avoids exfiltrating sensitive payloads. It records structural metadata (counts, lengths, presence flags)—not raw credential, secret, or user PII values.
- No password material, secrets, or token private keys accessed
- Directory sampling limited to schema + non-identifying distribution metrics
- All raw intermediate artifacts purgeable post-report
- Optional on-site / controlled network execution
