Magic Link Integration Kit

The Magic Link Integration Kit enables PingFederate to send users a one-time link through their verified email address to sign on without a password.

Features

  • Supports the PingFederate Authentication API, allowing you to integrate it into your existing web-based sign-on application.

  • Supports existing PingFederate notification publishers like SMTP and Amazon SNS.

Components

  • Magic Link IdP Adapter

    • Allows PingFederate to trigger a notification publisher to send a one-time link to a user during sign on.

    • Accesses user contact information from data store attributes or from earlier in the authentication flow.

    • Validates that the user has clicked the one-time link.

  • Language packs

    • Allow you to customize the messages shown to the user during authentication.

  • Templates

    • Allow you to modify the appearance of pages shown to the user during authentication.

Intended audience

This document is intended for PingFederate administrators.

Before starting, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following sections of the PingFederate documentation:

System requirements

  • PingFederate 11.2 or later

  • To improve security, it’s best to use the Magic Link IdP Adapter as part of two-factor authentication (2FA) instead of single-factor authentication.

  • You should only use the Magic Link IdP Adapter with verified email addresses.

    Create user accounts and verify email addresses through a different means before using the Magic Link IdP Adapter.
