About this task
|
In environments using PingFederate as the identity provider, adding a user in PingOne does not create the user in the PingFederate user directory. The ability to create a user in PingOne is provided as an option for MFA testing. |
|
If your environment is set up with custom user attributes, the user fields might not match the ones described here. |
