Replacing connection credentials

You can replace or revoke the credential of a connection between PingFederate and PingOne.

About this task

The following procedure describes how to replace a connection’s credential, which requires administrative access to both applications.

Steps

  1. In PingOne:

    1. Go to Connections → Product Platform → PingFederate.

    2. On the PingFederate Connections window, open the connection’s card and go to the Configuration tab.

    3. Click the pencil icon.

    4. Click Add.

      Result:PingOne generates a new credential, adds it to the tab, and opens a dialog box.

    5. In the dialog box, click the credential to save it to the clipboard.

    6. Close the dialog box.

    7. If you will not perform step 2 now, paste and save the credential in a text file because this is the only time you can view and copy the credential.

  2. In PingFederate:

    1. Go to System → External Systems → PingOne Connections.

    2. On the PingOne Connections window, open the connection’s card.

    3. Click the pencil icon.

    4. Paste the new credential that you created in step 1 in the Credential field.

    5. Click Save.

Next steps

After you replace a connection’s credential, you can go to PingOne and revoke the old credential.
