This allows a service provider (SP) to pass authentication requests through PingFederate to LinkedIn. As a result, users can sign on to LinkedIn to access web applications in the SP domain. For example, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider can use the LinkedIn IdP Adapter to provide customers with direct SSO access to its applications. In addition, a service provider can use LinkedIn credentials for secure, standards-based SSO to services in other local domains or at partner sites by using the adapter in an SP partner connection. For more information about identity-federation standards and partner connections, see Supported standards in the PingFederate Administrator’s Manual.
