Adding Twitter as an identity provider in PingOne

Configure the identity provider connection in PingOne.

Before you begin

Ensure that registration is enabled in the authentication policy. See Editing an authentication policy.

You should have the following information ready:

  • API secret key

Learn more in Getting the API key and API secret.

Steps

  1. In PingOne, go to Integrations → External IdPs.

  2. Click Add Provider.

  3. Click Twitter.

  4. On the Create Profile page, enter the following information:

    • Name: A unique identifier for the identity provider.

    • Description: (Optional). A brief description of the identity provider.

    You cannot change the icon and login button, in accordance with the provider’s brand standards.

  5. Click Next.

  6. On the Configure Connection page, enter the following information:

    • API key: The consumer key that you copied earlier from the identity provider. You can find this information on the Twitter Developers site.

    • API secret key: The consumer secret that you copied earlier from the identity provider. You can find this information on the Twitter Developers site.

    • Callback URL: The URL to which the user will be redirected after authenticating. This value is read-only. You’ll provide this value to the identity provider later.

  7. Click Save and Continue.

  8. On the Map Attributes page, define how the PingOne user attributes are mapped to identity provider attributes. For more information, see Mapping attributes.

    • Enter the PingOne user profile attribute and the external IdP attribute. For more information about attribute syntax, see Identity provider attributes.

    • To add an attribute, click Add attribute.

    • To use the expression builder, click Build and test or Advanced Expression. See Using the expression builder.

    • Select the update condition, which determines how PingOne updates its user directory with the values from the identity provider. The options are:

      • Empty only: Update the PingOne attribute only if the existing attribute is empty.

      • Always: Always update the PingOne directory attribute.

  9. Click Save and Close.
