PingID Administration Guide

Email customization

Four email customizations are available:

  1. Customize the email "From" address to change the default address of noreply@pingidentity.com to noreply@yourdomain.com.

  2. Customize the email "Replyto" address to change the default address of noreply@pingidentity.com to noreply@yourdomain.com.

  3. Customize the email "Subject" line.

    To change items 1 to 3 above, sign on to the Ping Identity Support Portal and open a case.

  4. Customize the email message body. PingID supplies templates to customize the body of notification mails. To download the templates, see PingID email templates. Download the .zip file and extract it. The included readme.txt file contains a directory list of templates.

Editing the template for a new authentication request

Open the New Email Authentication Request.html file in a text editor. The template is shown in the following image.

A screen capture of the email message sent to end users when authenticating. It includes a one-time password.

This template has two variables, ${one-time-passcode} and ${service-provider}. You can replace any of the HTML content, as long as you retain the ${one-time-passcode} variable. The ${service-provider} and ${current-year} variables are optional.

After making your changes, contact PingID Customer Support to upload the template.
