Managing SP adapters
A service provider (SP) adapter creates a local-application session for a user to provide single sign-on (SSO) access to your applications or other protected resources. You must configure at least one instance of an SP adapter to set up connections to identity provider (IdP) partners.
About this task
You can configure multiple instances of adapters, based on one or more adapters, to accommodate the varying needs of your IdP partners.
PingFederate comes bundled with OpenToken Adapter. You can deploy additional integration kits from the Ping Identity Downloads website.
Steps
-
Go to Applications → Integration → SP Adapters.
-
In the SP Adapters window, choose from the following options.

By default, PingFederate automatically checks multi-connection errors whenever you access this window. This verifies that configured connections are not adversely affected by changes made here.
If you experience noticeable delays in accessing this window, you can disable automatic connection validation. Go to System → Server → General Settings.
