Enhancements when connecting PingID and PingOne
Improved PingID
We’ve enhanced the process of connecting an existing PingID organization to a new PingOne environment:
-
Before starting the process of connecting PingID and PingOne, PingID now performs a verification check to ensure that the license for the relevant PingOne organization is valid, and is sufficient to support the number of PingID users.
If the license is not valid, or the number of users required exceeds the number of users permitted by the organization’s PingOne license, the process is stopped. An audit message is included in the admin activity report in PingID. Customers should contact their support representative to extend their license if required, and then restart the connecting process.
-
New audit events are included in the admin activity report in PingID to enable Administrators to review the synchronization status and follow up in case of any possible failures.

For information, see Configuring number matching authentication, Authenticating by number matching, and PingID Authentication API.
February 21
Limit push notifications rule
New PingID
To reduce the likelihood of a user acknowledging a malicious push notification as part of an MFA fatigue attack, we’ve added a new rule that enables you to limit the number of push notifications the user can receive within a given time period.
