Automatic synchronization of PingID SDK with a PingFederate user directory

The PingID SDK Connector synchronizes user identities and their profile attributes from a configured datastore within PingFederate to PingID SDK.

Ping Identity offers a catalog of connectors that provide provisioning capabilities to SaaS providers. The connectors act as a mediator to handle transactions safely and securely. The PingID SDK Connector offers profile management solutions to multiple directory types, such as LDAP, Active Directory (AD), and PingDirectory.

The PingID SDK Connector:

  • Includes support for user life cycle management that lets you create, update, disable, and delete users

  • Includes configuration options for workflow capabilities, such as the ability to disable updates

The PingID SDK Connector flow:

  1. PingFederate polls the user directory for any changes to user records at regular intervals, configurable in PingFederate.

  2. Returned records are stored within PingFederate’s intermediary database and marked as requiring an update in PingID SDK (PingOne).

  3. The connector pulls the marked record from the intermediary database and performs the necessary operation (Create, Get, Update, Delete) against the PingID SDK record. These changes are reflected in the PingOne admin portal.
