Configuring a PingID Password Credential Validator instance

You can create and configure an instance of the PingID Password Credential Validator in the PingFederate administrative console.

Before you begin

Open the previously downloaded pingid.properties file in a text editor, copy its content, and then close the file.

Go to System → Data & Credential Stores → Password Credential Validators, and then click Create New Instance.
On the Type tab, from the Type list, select PingID PCV (with integrated RADIUS server) and complete the Instance Name and Instance ID fields.
On the Instance Configuration tab, configure the required fields as follows.
1. Click Add a new row to 'RADIUS Clients', enter 127.0.0.1 as the RADIUS IP address and a value in the Client Shared Secret field. Click Update.
  
  127.0.0.1 represents the local RADIUS client, the PingFederate administrative console, which calls the RADIUS server bundled in the PingID PCV for authentication.
  
  The Client Shared Secret value is required for the next task.
2. Click Add a new row to 'Delegate PCV’s', select the previously created LDAP Username Credential Validator instance, and then click Update.
3. Paste the content from the pingid.properties file into the PingID Properties File field.
4. Review the rest of the default settings. Modify as needed to meet your requirements, and click Next.
On the Extended Contract tab, click Next to skip to the Summary tab.
On the Summary tab, review, modify if needed, and save the configuration.
