PingID Administration Guide

Configuring a composite adapter

If you are using PingFederate 9.0 or earlier, you must create a composite adapter to enable secondary authentication.

About this task

This is part of the flow mentioned in Configuring a PingFederate policy for secondary authentication.

Although it is possible to configure a composite adapter when running PingFederate 9.1 or higher, it is not recommended.

Steps

  1. Go to Identity Provider → Adapters → Manage IdP Adapters.

  2. Click Create New Instance.

  3. For general instructions on creating a composite adapter instance for PingFederate 9.0 or earlier, see Configure the composite adapter.

  4. On the Type tab, select Composite Adapter from the Type list.

  5. On the IdP Adapter tab, select the IdP adapter instance you’re using for the initial primary authentication and the PingID adapter you’ve configured, and add them to the composite adapter. For more information, see Configuring a PingID Adapter instance.

  6. Click Next to continue configuring the adapter instance.
