Single Sign-on With Ping Identity

Ping identity establishes the Identity Bridge for in-bound and out-bound Identity management. It also enables Single Sign-on, federated identity management, mobile identity security, API security and social identity integration.

Configure:
Configuration is straight forward and can be completed in less than an hour.  


Download the trial version of their product.  If you know your company network very well, it is easy to configure and implement SSO in any project.

The communication between authendication service, ping federate and target application is very simple.







Steps:

1. Configure Server
2. Configure Adapter
3. Configure Connector
4. Get the partner id and target URL.
5. Frame end point URL(eg https://localhost:9031/sp/startSSO.ping?PartnerIdpId=<CONNECTOR NAME>&TargetResource=<APPLICATION URL>)
6. Implement your integration code based on the language of the website or application.

Yes, straight forward integration with less coding effort!


At first, I started reverse engineering their sample, but it took more time.  Having ping federate in local machine will help in terms of getting the API and resolving unknowns.

Have fun with SSO!
