Configuring device management
Configure the user device management settings.
Steps
-
Sign on to the admin console.
-
Go to Setup → PingID → Configuration.

In the Devices section, define the maximum devices a user can pair and how devices are presented when authenticating. From the Maximum Allowed Devices list, select the maximum number of devices that a user can pair with their account or app. The default value is 1, and the maximum value is 20.
When a user adds more than one device, the devices appear on their Devices page and are listed in the order in which they were added. The most recently added device appears last in the list.

In the Devices Selection section, select one of the following options.
Choose from:
-
Default to Primary: Prompts the user to authenticate with their primary device. If the primary device is not allowed by the PingID policy, the secondary permitted device is presented. Applies to PingID Web, API, RADIUS, and SSH default interfaces. For more information, see Policy evaluation.
-
Prompt User to Select: Allows the user to choose from the list of authentication methods paired with their account. Only authentication methods permitted by the relevant PingID policy are shown. Applies to PingID Web, API, RADIUS (when supporting challenge mode), and SSH default interfaces.
The Devices Selection section only appears if you select two or more devices from the Maximum Allowed Devices list.
