Configure the IdP adapter

About this task

For this configuration, you need to know your Salesforce.com Organization ID. You can use more than one ID as needed. Organization IDs are listed under Company Information in your Salesforce Administration Setup.

Steps

Sign on to the PingFederate administrative console and click Adapters under My IdP Configuration on the Main Menu.
On the Manage IdP Adapter Instances page, click Create New Instance.
On the Type page, enter an Instance Name and Instance ID.

The Instance Name is any name you choose for identifying this adapter instance. The Instance ID is used internally and must be alphanumeric without any spaces.

Make a note of the adapter ID for later use.
Select Salesforce.com Adapter from the Type list and click Next.
On the IdP Adapter page, under Allowed Organization(s):
1. Click Add a new row to 'Allowed Organization(s)'.
2. Enter your Salesforce Org ID.
3. Click Update.
4. Repeat these steps for any other Salesforce IDs at your site as needed.
(Optional) If SSO to a target application requires the user’s organizational role and profile, select the associated checkbox.

Note that this selection marginally increases processing time for the SSO transaction.
Click Next.
On the Adapter Attributes page, select the checkbox next to subject under Pseudonym.

Pseudonyms are opaque subject identifiers used for SAML account linking and might not be applicable in the context of cloud-identity deployments. To ensure correct PingFederate performance under all circumstances, however, a selection is required. Learn more about account linking in the PingFederate Administrator’s Manual or click Help on this page.
On the Summary page, verify that the information is correct and click Done.
On the Manage IdP Adapter Instances page, click Save.
