About this task

Configuring PingFederate for PingAuthorize and Configuring PingAuthorize Policy Editor to use PingFederate explain how to configure the PingAuthorize Policy Editor and PingFederate so that any authenticated user can access the PingAuthorize Policy Editor. This task describes how to configure PingFederate to limit access to a specific LDAP group.

Steps

  1. Create an LDAP group in PingDirectory and add the desired user (user.20) to the group.

    1. Create a file named create-policy-writer-group.ldif and add the following.

      dn: ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: organizationalunit
ou: groups

dn: cn=PolicyWriter,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com
objectclass: top
objectclass: groupOfUniqueNames
cn: PolicyWriter
ou: groups
uniquemember: uid=user.20,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

    2. Use the PingDirectory ldapmodify tool to load the newly created ldif file.

      /opt/PingDirectory/bin/ldapmodify -a -f create-policy-writer-group.ldif

  2. Add the group membership claim requirement in PingFederate.

    1. In the PingFederate console, go to Applications → OAuth → Access Token Mappings.

    2. Select the PingDirectory mapping from the list, and then on the Attribute Sources & User Lookup tab, select the PingDirectory source.

    3. Click the LDAP Directory Search tab, and in the Root Object Class list, select Show All Attributes.

    4. Add the isMemberOf attribute, and then click Done to return to Access Token Attribute Mapping.

    6. Click Save.

      Result:

    Clear any active SSO sessions before you sign on as each user.

    1. Sign on as user.0.

      Result:

      Access is denied.

    2. Sign on as user.20.

      Result:

      Access is granted.
