Configuring service authentication
Administrators with the Admin role can activate and configure authentication for Attribute Query and Java Management Extensions (JMX).
About this task
If you are using the SAML 2.0 Attribute Query profile as a service provider (SP), then the requesting applications at your site must authenticate to the PingFederate server. You can find more information in Attribute Query and XASP and SP services.
Authentication is required to access PingFederate runtime data via JMX. Learn more in Runtime monitoring using JMX.
|
To help ensure network security, access to all of these services is deactivated when PingFederate is first installed. |
