PingFederate Server

Specifying artifact resolver locations (SAML 2.0)

When the artifact binding is enabled as one of the allowable bindings on the Allowable SAML Bindings tab, you must provide at least one artifact resolution service (ARS) endpoint on the Artifact Resolver Locations tab.

About this task

The ARD endpoint is where PingFederate sends back-channel requests to resolve artifacts received from the service provider (SP).

Steps

  1. On the Artifact Resolver Locations tab, enter the ARS endpoint URL in the URL field.

    You can enter a relative path (begin with a forward slash) if you have provided a base URL on the General Info tab. For more information, see Identifying the SP.

  2. Optional: Enter an integer to the Index field for this ACS endpoint.

    The administrative console automatically assigns an index value for each ARS endpoint, beginning with 0. If you want to define your own index values, you must make sure the index values are unique.

  3. Click Add.

  4. Optional: Repeat to add additional ARS endpoints.

    When specifying multiple ARS endpoints, each endpoint must share the same transport protocol. That is, if one endpoint uses HTTPS, then all must use HTTPS.

  5. After you have entered all of your ARS endpoints, click Next to save changes.

Result

If you are editing an existing connection, you can reconfigure any ARS endpoints.
