Azure AD Password Credential Validator

Password credential validators (PCV) allow PingFederate administrators to define a centralized location for username/password validation, allowing validator instances to be referenced by various PingFederate configurations. The PingFederate Azure AD PCV uses Microsoft Graph API for credentials validation.

Features

  • Sign-on with full usernames (e.g. john.smith@mydomain.com).

  • Support for Azure AD Custom Properties (Directory Schema Extensions).

  • All user group memberships are included in the response.

  • Failed sign-on feedback (e.g. Invalid credentials, account is disabled, forced password change).

  • Supports non-federate single and multi-tenant Azure AD user accounts.
