Managing PingOne connections

Add a credential from your PingOne environment to the PingAccess administrative console to establish a connection between PingAccess and PingOne Protect.

About this task

PingOne connections are currently only used as part of PingAccess’s integration with PingOne Protect. For a more detailed explanation of this integration, see PingOne Protect integration.

You must create a PingOne connection before you can create a risk policy in PingAccess. A PingOne connection makes it possible for PingAccess to receive risk evaluations from PingOne Protect.

To create or manage PingOne connections through the PingAccess administrative console, see:
