PingFederate Server

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

  1. Go to Applications → Integration → SP Adapters.

  2. In the SP Adapters window, choose from the following options.

    Option Description

    Configure a new instance

    Click Create New Instance

    Modify an existing instance

    Click the name of instance in the Instance Name column

    View the usage of an existing instance

    Click Check Usage in the Action column on the instance’s row

    Remove an existing instance

    Click Delete in the Action column on the instance’s row

    After installing new adapter program files, you might be required to make additional configuration changes in areas such as adapter instances and connections as prompted by the administrative console.

    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.
