PingFederate Server

Managing token processors

The PingFederate Security Token Service (STS) uses token processors to validate incoming tokens and token requests.

About this task

You must configure at least one processor in order to set up an STS connection or a token-to-token mapping.

For more information about WS-Trust, see Web services standards.

  • JWT Token Processor

  • Kerberos Token Processor

  • OAuth Bear Token Processor

  • SAML 1.1 Token Processor

  • SAML 2.0 Token Processor

  • Username Token Processor

You can deploy additional token translators from Ping Identity website.
