Contentful Integration Guide

Contentful Integration Guide

You can integrate PingFederate with Contentful for provisioning and single sign-on (SSO). This integration uses the downloadable SCIM Connector.

Features

  • Manages users in Contentful based on changes in a datastore that is attached to PingFederate.

    • Creates and deletes users.

    • Allows you to enable the create and delete capabilities independently.

      Contentful doesn’t allow attribute updates for existing users. When a user is "deleted", they are removed from the organization, but not removed from the Contentful platform.

  • Manages groups in Contentful based on changes in your datastore.

    • Creates, updates, and deletes groups.

    • Updates group memberships.

  • Enables browser-based SSO initiated by the identity provider (IdP) or service provider (SP).
