Application management (current)

The topics in this section are for tenants created on or after January 12, 2023. Refer to Application management migration FAQ.
Just show me the available apps!

The topics in this and subsequent sections are for system administrators and similar roles whose responsibility is to set up and manage applications that work with the PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud.

You can use a registration process to manage the security and access of common and custom relying party applications and SAML 2.0 applications directly from Advanced Identity Cloud.

Using the Applications page, you can integrate Advanced Identity Cloud with external data stores or identity providers. This page provides a one-stop location to:

  • Register and provision popular Federation-capable applications quickly and easily by choosing from a library of templates, such as Salesforce and Workday.

  • Register and provision your organization’s custom applications.

  • Manage data, properties, rules, provisioning, users, and groups for an application.

  • Activate and deactivate an application.

  • View the connection status of each application created in Advanced Identity Cloud.

To view OAuth 2.0 client applications created in AM admin UI (native console) or using the Advanced Identity Cloud REST API:
In Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI, under Applications, click OAuth2 Clients and view the applications on the OAuth2 Clients page.

All applications that you register with Advanced Identity Cloud are either target applications or authoritative applications. For more information, refer to app-management:applications.adoc#target_and_authoritative_applications.

Each application relies on a connector to connect to external resources such as LDAP and flat files.

You can register OIDC OpenID Connect applications and SAMLv2 applications, and set up provisioning, and other features using the following methods:

  • Template - Advanced Identity Cloud includes a library of templates for OIDC relying party applications that makes the process of registration and configuration quick and easy. When using a template, Advanced Identity Cloud sets the OAuth 2.0 grant type based on the type of application you register. The system sets OpenID connect default options as well. You can then customize configurations in the application’s client profile.

  • Custom - This option allows you to register custom applications as an OAuth 2.0 or SAML 2.0 application.

To view a catalog of application templates, click Browse App Catalog. To search for an existing application, in the Search field, enter the name of an application.

To register an application, use an application template. Click Browse App Catalog, select the application, and complete the fields.

After you register an application, the page displays the following configuration tabs for single sign-on, provisioning, and so on.

The application type determines the tabs that the page displays.

Target and authoritative applications

All applications that you register with Advanced Identity Cloud are either target applications or authoritative applications.

  • target applications: Use Advanced Identity Cloud to create and manage user accounts in a target application. Running reconciliation on a target application syncs user account changes (new accounts, updated accounts, deleted accounts) and user-associated non-account objects (like groups) from Advanced Identity Cloud to the target application (for example, ServiceNow).

  • authoritative applications: Create and manage user accounts in an authoritative application. Authoritative applications act as a source of identities and do not allow management of users and roles. You do not assign users to an Authoritative application. Running reconciliation on an authoritative application syncs user account changes (New accounts, updated accounts, deleted accounts) from the authoritative application (for example, Workday) to Advanced Identity Cloud. You specify an application as authoritative when you create the application.

Whether an application is an authoritative application or a target application, you can set up the following application types:

OIDC OpenID Connect applications

OAuth 2.0 is a token-based authorization framework for SSO through API endpoints and is mainly for authorizing applications. For Advanced Identity Cloud, register an OAuth 2.0 application if you have a custom application integration with the ForgeRock SDK or hosted pages.

There are several types of OAuth 2.0 applications when registering a custom application:

Native / SPA applications with PKCE

Native applications are for specific platforms or devices. Examples include applications for mobile phones and applications for the macOS platform.

Single-page applications (SPAs) are OAuth 2.0 clients that run in an end user’s web browser. SPAs use Proof Key Code Exchange (PKCE) to verify the client because SPAs can’t secure the client secret. PKCE is a security standard from the IETF specification Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients.

For a deep dive on how Advanced Identity Cloud implements PKCE for native and SPA applications, refer to Authorization code grant with PKCE.

Web applications

Web applications are OAuth 2.0 clients that run on a web server. End users (resource owners) access web applications using a web browser. The application makes API calls using a server-side programming language. The end user has no access to the OAuth 2.0 client secret or any access tokens that the authorization server issues.

Service / Machine-to-machine applications

Machine-to-machine (M2M) applications interact with an API, and no end user involvement is necessary. The application acts on behalf of itself and not on behalf of an end user. The application can ask for an access token directly without involving an end user in the process at all. Items such as a smart meter that tracks your utility usage and wearable devices that gather and communicate health data use services, and M2M applications.

SAML 2.0 applications

SAMLv2 is an XML-based open standard for single sign-on (SSO) and is primarily for authenticating users. Register a SAML application if the Identity Provider for your application only supports SAMLv2. For more information, visit SAML v2.0 guide.

Best practices for registering applications

Before you register an application with Advanced Identity Cloud, consider the following:

  • To set up SSO if the application is SAML 2.0, make sure you have the application metadata and entity ID for your application.

  • Know the settings for configuring provisioning. For information about application-specific provisioning settings, refer to Provision an application.

  • Know the users and groups that have access to your application.

    Request URIs

    Specify request_uri values that a dynamic client pre-registers.

    Client JWT Bearer
    Public Key

    A base64-encoded X509 certificate in PEM format used to obtain the client’s JWT bearer public key. The client uses the private key to sign client authentication and access token request JWTs, while AM uses the public key for verification.

    Subject Type

    Default value is public.

    • Choose pairwise if you want each client to receive a different subject value. This prevents correlation between clients.

    • Choose public if you want each client to receive the same subject value.

    Default Max Age

    Enable this option to enforce a default maximum age of 10 minutes. If the end user session is not currently active, and if more than 10 minutes have passed since the end user last authenticated, then the end user must authenticate again.

    Use Certificate-Bound Access Tokens

    Enable this option if you want access tokens issued to this client to be bound to an X.509 certificate. When enabled, access tokens will use the X.509 certificate to authenticate to the access_token endpoint.

Manage mappings

The Mapping tab lets you create identity object and attribute mappings between Advanced Identity Cloud and an external system application. You define mappings between a source and a target. The definition of source and target depend on the type of mapping:

Outbound mapping

Provision user attributes from Advanced Identity Cloud (source) to an external target application (target).

Inbound mapping

Reconcile user attributes from an external authoritative application (source) to Advanced Identity Cloud (target).

To avoid inconsistencies between systems, don’t update mappings while a provisioning or reconciliation is in progress.

Create or edit a mapping

  1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI, go to Applications, then select your application, then click the Provisioning tab.

  2. In the left navigation panel, click the Mapping tab.

    • If displayed, click Outbound (shown if your application is connected to external target application).

      1. Choose one of the following:

        • To create an outbound mapping:

          1. Click + Add a property to open a mapping configuration modal.

          2. In the drop-down list of targets, select an attribute to update in the external target application.

          3. Click Next.

        • To edit an outbound mapping:

          1. Click a mapping to open its mapping configuration modal.

      2. In the drop-down list of sources, select an Advanced Identity Cloud attribute to provide a source value. This step is optional if you intend to apply a transformation script and/or a default value.

    • If displayed, click Inbound (shown if your application is connected to an external authoritative application).

      1. Choose one of the following:

        • To create an inbound mapping:

          1. Click + Add a property to open a mapping configuration modal.

          2. In the drop-down list of targets, select an Advanced Identity Cloud attribute to update.

          3. Click Next.

        • To edit an inbound mapping:

          1. Click a mapping to open its mapping configuration modal.

      2. In the drop-down list of sources, select an attribute from the external authoritative application to provide a source value. This step is optional if you intend to apply a transformation script and/or a default value.

  3. (Optional) Apply a transformation script to the mapping.

  4. (Optional) Apply a conditional update to the mapping.

  5. (Optional) Apply a default value to the mapping.

  6. Click Save to save the mapping and close the mapping configuration modal.

Apply a transformation script to a mapping

You can apply a transformation script to a mapping to compute a target value using a combination of source values and string manipulations. For example, you may want to combine first name and last name attributes into a single name attribute.

  1. Refer to steps 1–4 in Create or edit a mapping.

  2. In the mapping configuration modal:

    1. Check Apply transformation script.

    2. Insert your transformation script into the Transformation Script editor. Refer to these examples:

    3. (Optional) To use custom global variables in the script, refer to Define custom global variables for a script.

    4. Click Save to save the mapping and close the mapping configuration modal.

Source object behavior

The source object in a transformation script changes depending on what you select from the drop-down list of sources:

  • If you select a source attribute, such as source.name, the source object represents just that attribute. For example, to access name.familyName you would reference source.familyName.

  • If you don’t select a source attribute, the source object represents the entire identity object and its attributes. For example, to access name.familyName you would reference source.name.familyName.

Transformation script example 1
source.name ? source.name.familyName : null ;

In this example, the script checks if a value exists for source.name. If it does, we know source.name is an object and familyName is one of the attributes on that object, so the script sets the field with the value of source.name.familyName. Otherwise, the script sets this field to null.

Transformation script example 2
source.givenName + ' ' + source.sn ;

In this example, the script sets the field to a combination of the given name and surname, with a space in the middle; for example, "Jane Fergus".

Transformation script example 3a
source.active ? 'active' : 'inactive';

In this example, the script checks if the source.active property has any value set. If true, the script sets this field to the string active. Otherwise, the script sets the field to inactive.

Transformation script example 3b

You can configure the previous script slightly differently if you prefer (as described in Source object behavior). If you select source.active from the drop-down list of sources, source.active is represented as source in the transformation script. So the transformation script would be:

source ? 'active' : 'inactive';

Apply a conditional update to a mapping

You can apply a conditional update to a mapping so that the target attribute is only updated when certain conditions evaluate to true.

  1. Refer to steps 1–4 in Create or edit a mapping.

  2. In the mapping configuration modal:

    1. Click Show advanced settings.

    2. Check Apply conditional update.

    3. Choose one of the following ways to conditionally update the attribute:

      • To use filter fields:

        1. Make sure Filter is selected.

        2. Use the fields to set the conditions that must occur to update the attribute.

          For example, if you want to update the attribute only for users in the United States, select "Country" from the list of attributes, select "is" from the list of operators, and enter "United States" in the open text field:

          mapping conditional update filter fields

      • To use a filter query:

        1. Make sure Filter is selected.

        2. Click Advanced Editor.

          If you build a filter with the filter fields, it is automatically populated as a query filter in the advanced editor.

        3. In the editor, edit the query filter.

          For example, if you want to update the attribute only for users in the United States, enter /object/country eq "United States":

          mapping conditional update filter query

      • To use a script:

        1. Click Script.

        2. In the Conditional Update Script field, modify the script that defines the condition.

          For example, if you want to update the attribute only for users in the United States, enter object.country == "United States":

          mapping conditional update script

        3. (Optional) To use custom global variables in the script, refer to Define custom global variables for a script.

    4. Click Save to save the mapping and close the mapping configuration modal.

Apply a default value to a mapping

You can apply a default value to a mapping. The default value is applied to a target attribute if the result of a mapping (including after any transformation script or conditional update) is a value of null.

  1. Refer to steps 1–4 in Create or edit a mapping.

  2. In the mapping configuration modal:

    1. Click Show advanced settings.

    2. Check Apply a default if value is null.

    3. Insert your default value into the editor.

    4. Click Save to save the mapping and close the mapping configuration modal window.

Define custom global variables for a script

  1. In the Transformation Script field or the Conditional Update Script field, click + Add Variables.

  2. To specify the variables in a JSON format, check the JSON toggle.

  3. To give the variable a name, enter a name in the Name field.

  4. To give the variable a value, enter a value in the Value field.

  5. To add more global variables for your script, click the plus sign and repeat the previous two steps.

  6. Click Save.

  4. Find the mapping you want to delete and click its ellipsis icon (more_horiz), then click Delete.

  5. In the Delete Mapping? modal, click Delete.

Reconcile and synchronize end-user accounts

A reconciliation operation involves a target system (the system with user account updates) and Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI (the system that receives the updates). For example, a Salesforce application and Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI. Mappings define the relationship between the target system and Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI.

The goal of reconciliation is to ensure synchronization and consistency between Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI and the external system application. Reconciliation uses the details you define in the Mappings tab to determine how to map and update properties.

Running reconciliation syncs end-user account changes (New accounts, updated accounts, deleted accounts) and user-associated non-account objects (like Groups) from an authoritative application to Advanced Identity Cloud. This is for an inbound mapping.

The Reconciliation tab prepares an application to run reconciliation jobs; however, to schedule full and incremental reconciliation, go to the Reconciliation > Reconcile > Schedules tab.

Preview associations

To discern how your data reconciles between an external system and Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI, you can preview associations before you run reconciliation.

On the Reconciliation > Reconcile tab, click Preview Associations.

Synchronize an identity

You can synchronize an identity in Advanced Identity Cloud with an identity that exists in a target system. To achieve this, Advanced Identity Cloud models the identity in the target system and makes it available for mapping as a series of objects and properties:

Account object

The account object represents the user entity in the target system. Examples of account object properties are name and email.

For example, in a Salesforce application, the account.email object property is mapped to mail in the Advanced Identity Cloud user identity.

Non-account object

Non-account objects represent entities linked to the user entity in the target system. Examples of non-account objects are roles, groups, departments, permissions, and licenses.

For example, in a Salesforce application, the group object property is mapped to the GroupIds field in the Advanced Identity Cloud user identity.

Each templated application in Advanced Identity Cloud contains an account object and may contain one or more non-account objects that are modelled specifically to the target system.

Manually set non-account objects for an account object

After you create certain connectors and run reconciliation, you can start mapping the account object to various non-account objects. These non-account objects are predefined. For more information about connectors with predefined non-account objects, refer to Connectors with predefined non-account objects.

However, connectors for non-authoritative applications, such as a Scripted REST connector, a Scripted Groovy connector, or a Scripted Table connector, don’t have predefined non-account objects. The reason is that these types of connectors can have different non-account objects. These non-account objects are nonpredefined objects.

For connectors for non-authoritative applications, you must manually select the non-account objects that map to specific properties for an account object.

  1. Select the Provisioning tab.

  2. Select the Properties tab.

  3. Edit a property.

  4. On the Edit Property screen, enable Constrain values for this property.

  5. On the Edit Property screen, enable Application Object Type.

Map target system object properties to Identity Cloud

To ensure all properties that are associated with a user account or role account synchronize during reconciliation, perform the following steps.

  1. If your connector is not predefined, perform the steps in Manually set non-account objects for an account object.

  2. Select the Provisioning tab.

  3. Click Mapping.

  4. Click Inbound.

  5. Follow steps 3 to 6 in Create or edit a mapping.

Run a reconciliation

Before you perform the following steps, to ensure you synchronize all information for the identity, map all relevant object properties with the identity.

  1. On the Reconciliation > Reconcile tab, click the ellipsis (…​) to the right of a mapping.

  2. Click Reconcile Identity.

  3. Verify the information on the page, and click Reconcile Identity.

  4. After the reconciliation process is complete, click Done.

View a report about the last reconciliation

You can view information about the last reconciliation, such as:

  • The percent of all accounts successfully reconciled.

  • Information about each reconciled account: mapping source, mapping target, attempted action, and the result of the reconciliation.

Before you perform the following steps, make sure you run reconciliation.

  1. On the Reconciliation > Settings tab, click Show advanced settings.

  2. To view a searchable table report of the last reconciliation results, set Persist Associations to true.

    • If set to true, the UI displays a reconciliation report table and a search field that lets you search the table. The table displays below the reconciliation percentage graphic and percentage bars.

    • If set to false, the UI does not display a reconciliation report table.
      To filter the report results, enter text in the Search users field.
      To view different subsets of the report (1-to-1 match / no match), click View and select an item from the drop-down list.

For large reconciliations jobs:
To avoid performance issues, ForgeRock recommends that you leave Persist Associations set to false.

Manage reconciliation schedules

The Schedules section of the Reconciliation > Settings tab lets you view and schedule reconciliation events for accounts or groups/organizations that have access to your application.

You can schedule two types of reconciliation:

  • Full Reconciliation: A process that completely synchronizes the source and target. This process usually happens once a week on a weekend or once a month but at longer intervals. The long intervals are because the synchronization process is very labor-intensive and can take a large amount of time depending on the reconciliation data.

  • Incremental Reconciliation: Also referred to as liveSync, incremental reconciliation is a process that only synchronizes the deltas between the source and target. You can run incremental reconciliation every few minutes to get new updates. For example, if you run an incremental reconciliation at 12:55 PM, then again at 2:00 PM, Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI only looks at the timeframe in between to update, create, or delete data if anything changes in the source or target. Depending on the application, a timestamp or change number is used to synchronize the delta.

You can edit existing schedules and activate or deactivate them.

Set up a full or incremental reconciliation schedule

The initial state of a schedule is inactive.

  1. On the Reconciliation > Settings tab, navigate to the Schedules section.

  2. Click an inactive schedule: Full Reconciliation or Incremental Reconciliation.

  3. Choose one of the following ways to edit the schedule:

    • Edit the fields on the Set up page and click Save Schedule.

    • To use a text editor to edit the schedule:

      1. Enable the Use cron toggle.

      2. Enter a valid cron string in the Frequency field.

      3. Click Save Schedule.

Deactivate a schedule

  1. On the Reconciliation > Settings tab, navigate to the Schedules section.

  2. Click an active schedule.

  3. Click Deactivate Schedule.

Manage reconciliation rules

You use rules to define the actions you want Advanced Identity Cloud to perform when certain events occur during reconciliation. For example, if reconciliation detects that an identity object exists in Advanced Identity Cloud but not in the target application, Advanced Identity Cloud creates an identity object in the target application and links it to a source object in Advanced Identity Cloud if both of the following are true:

  • Reconciliation detects that the identity object exists in Advanced Identity Cloud but not in the target application.

  • You select Advanced Identity Cloud to take the action CREATE.

Each rule has an action. Advanced Identity Cloud performs the action when a rule triggers an action to be performed on a record. Advanced Identity Cloud evaluates each record. When an event meets a rule condition, Advanced Identity Cloud performs the action you have defined for that rule.

The Situation Rules section of the Reconciliation > Settings tab displays the name and action of the rules for your application.

Situation (application) rules
Situation rule Description

Ambiguous

The source identity object matches multiple target identity objects based on the defined unique attribute. There must be a one-to-one link between a source and target identity object. can’t accurately make this link due to ambiguity.

Source Missing

For authoritative apps only.

The target identity object links to a missing source. This usually means the source identity object was deleted.

Missing

The source links to a missing target identity object. This usually means the target identity object was deleted.

Found Already Linked

The target identity object is linked to an old source object, usually deleted, and can’t be linked to the new source identity object. This usually the source identity object was deleted and tried to recreate the source object. On reconciliation, Advanced Identity Cloud identified that it already found a source and target identity object linked. For more information on Found Already Linked, refer to the knowledge base article How do I resolve the Found Already Linked situation in Advanced Identity Cloud?.

Unassigned

The reconciliation finds a valid target identity object with no link established. This usually means another reconciliation needs to happen to establish a link (if you set the action to Link).

Unqualified

The source identity object doesn’t qualify, but target identity objects were found.

Link Only

A link is found, but the target identity object is missing. Advanced Identity Cloud had a matching source and target with a link but can no longer find the target identity object.

Confirmed

The ideal situation for a record. The source and target identity objects both exist and a valid link between the two are present. This means the source and target both have a unique identifier that can only match one-to-one, and Advanced Identity Cloud established a link between the two.

Found

A valid source and target identity object match, but there is no link between the two. On a following reconciliation, Advanced Identity Cloud creates a link and the record moves from Found to the Confirmed rule.

Absent

The source identity object doesn’t find a target identity object. This usually means a new record was created on the source, and typically, the action is Create. This creates a target identity object and links the source and target identity object.
Rule action types

When a reconciliation determines the situation of a record, you must specify the action to be taken. There can only be one action per situation rule.

Action Description

Async

An asynchronous process has started. Don’t perform any action or generate any report.

Create

Create a target identity object and link the source and target.

Delete

Delete the target identity object and unlink the source and target.

Exception

Flag the link situation as an exception and log the incident.

Ignore

Don’t change the link or target object state.

Link

Create a link between the source and the correlated target identity object.

No Report

Don’t perform any action or generate any report.

Onboard

Onboard the account and link the correlated target object.

Report

Don’t perform any action but report what would happen if the default action were performed.

Unlink

Unlink the linked target from the source.

Update

Update the target identity object and create a link between source and target.

Configure basic and advanced correlation between accounts

You can correlate the user accounts in an application to user accounts in Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI. This correlation is important because account attributes in the application may have different names than account attributes in Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI.

The Account Correlation section of the Reconciliation > Settings tab lets you choose the attribute(s) to use to match users in your application to users in Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI.

  1. On the Reconciliation > Settings tab, navigate to the Account Correlation section.

  2. Click Match using.

  3. In the Attribute(s) to Match drop-down list, choose the attribute(s) to use to match users in the target system to users in Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI.

  4. To use a query to set or edit match attributes, click Use advanced query.

    • For an authoritative application:

      1. Choose to correlate a user if any or all attributes are matched.

      2. Use the User property field to set the user property(s) to match.

    • For a target application:

      1. Edit the correlation query script.

  5. Click Save.

Manage reconciliation events

Event hooks allow you to set an action that occurs when a specific event happens.

The Event Hooks section of the Reconciliation > Settings tab lets you view and define event hooks for reconciliation events.

Add an event hook

  1. On the Reconciliation > Settings tab, navigate to the Event Hooks section.

  2. To the right of an event hook, click + Add.

  3. Edit the script for the event hook.

    • To restrict reconciliation to specific identities in an application by defining an explicit source query:

      1. Enable Filter Source.

      2. Choose to filter the source if Any or All conditions are met.

      3. Use the remaining fields to define the explicit source query. You can define the query using all the properties available in the target system.

    • To restrict reconciliation to specific identities in Advanced Identity Cloud by defining an explicit target query:

      1. Enable Filter Target.

      2. Choose to filter the target if Any or All conditions are met.

      3. Use the remaining fields to define the explicit target query. You can define the query using all the properties available in Advanced Identity Cloud.

    • To filter the application identities that are included in reconciliation using a script:

      1. Enable Valid Source Script.

      2. Edit the script.

    • To view a searchable table report of the last reconciliation results, set Persist Associations to true. For more information, refer to View a report about the last reconciliation.

    • To filter the Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI identities that are included in reconciliation using a script:

      1. Enable Valid Target Script.

      2. Edit the script.

    • To allow correlation of source objects to empty target objects, enable Correlate empty target objects.

    • To prefetch each link in the database before processing each source or target object, enable Prefetch Links.

    • To allow reconciliations from an empty source to delete all data in a target resource, enable Allow reconciliations from an Empty Source.

    • To tune performance by adjusting the number of concurrent threads dedicated to reconciliation, in the Threads Per Reconciliation field, enter the number of concurrent threads.

    • To set the synchronization token used for incremental inbound reconciliation, enter a value in the Sync Token field.

  3. Click Save.

Reset the last reconciliation job

You may need to reset the last reconciliation job if it failed or if it made a change you want to revert; for example, if the last reconciliation job added a new application user.

To reset the last reconciliation job, you must reset the sync token attribute. The sync token attribute stores the value of the last incremental reconciliation job that synced data inbound from a target system to Advanced Identity Cloud.

  1. In your target system, get or create the reset value for the sync token attribute. To understand how to do this, refer to the documentation provided by the vendor of your target system.

  2. In Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI, navigate to Applications > Provisioning > Reconciliation.

  3. Click the Settings tab.

  4. Scroll down and click Show advanced settings.

  5. In the Sync Token text field, enter a new value for the sync token attribute.

  6. Click Save.

Application management (legacy)

The topics in this section are for tenants created before January 12, 2023. Learn more in Application management migration FAQ.

Your applications act as clients to PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud. Ping Identity uses both OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect protocols to protect your applications. When you register a supported application or service, Advanced Identity Cloud sets the OAuth 2.0 grant type based on the type of application you’re registering. Advanced Identity Cloud also sets OpenID Connect default options for you. You can customize configuration in the application’s client profile.

To get started, first register your application or service to your tenant. Then, create a client profile for the application or service.

You can view and manage all your applications on the Applications page of the Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI.

The Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI supports a maximum of 500 applications.

Register an application or service

  1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI, go to Applications, and click + Add Application.

  2. In the New Consumer App dialog box, choose the application type you want to register:

  3. In the Web Application Credentials dialog box, enter a Client ID to be displayed in the Applications list, and if shown, enter a Client Secret.

  4. Click Create Application.

Create a client profile

  1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin UI, click Applications.

  2. In the Applications list, find the application name, then click More (), and choose Edit.

  3. Review read-only Client Credentials:

    Client Credentials

    Discovery URI

    AM URL base for OpenID Provider Configuration.
    Default: http://openam.example.com:8088/openam/oauth2

    Client ID

    Identifier used to register your client with AM’s authorization server, and then used when your client must authenticate to AM.

    Client Secret

    Password used to register your client with AM’s authorization server, and then used when your client must authenticate to AM.

  4. Edit General Settings:

    General Settings

    Name

    Specify a client name to display to the resource owner when the resource owner is asked to authorize client access to protected resources.

    App Logo URI

    Specify the location of your custom logo image file.

    Description

    Specify a client description to display to the resource owner when the resource owner is asked to authorize client access to protected resources.

    Sign-in URLs

    Custom URL for handling login. Overrides the default OpenAM login page.

    Sign-out URLs

    Custom URL for handling logout. Example: http://client.example.com:8080/openam/XUI/?realm=/#logout.

    Grant Types

    Specify the set of OAuth 2.0 grant types, also known as grant flows, allowed for this client:

    Authorization Code

    (default) Instead of requesting authorization directly from the user, your client application or service directs the user to an authorization server (Advanced Identity Cloud).

    Back Channel Request

     

    Implicit

    The client is issued an access token directly. No intermediate credentials (such as an authorization code) are issued. This grant type can potentially pose a security risk. Learn more in Implicit grant.

    Resource Owner Password Credentials

    Username and password can be used directly as an authorization grant to obtain an access token. The credentials should only be used when there is a high degree of trust between the user and the client application or service.

    Client Credentials

    Used when the client acts on its own behalf or requests access to protected resources based on previously-arranged authorization.

    Refresh Token

    Credentials used to obtain access tokens.

    Device Code

    Authorizes a client device, such as a smarthome thermostat, to access its service on an end user’s behalf. For example, the end user could log in to the thermostat service using a cell phone to enter a code displayed on the thermostat.

    SAML 2.0

    Leverages the REST-based services provided by AM’s OAuth 2.0 support. Maintains existing SAML 2.0 federation implementation.

    Scopes

    Specify scopes that display to the resource owner when they authorize client access to protected resources.

    The openid scope is required.

  5. Edit Advanced Settings:

    Access

    Add Default Scopes

    Scopes to be set automatically when tokens are issued. The openid scope is required.

    Add Response types

    Specify the response types that the client uses. The response type value specifies the flow that determines how the ID token and access token are returned to the client. By default, the following response types are available:

    • ︎code. Specifies that the client application requests an authorization code grant.

    • token. Specifies that the client application requests an implicit grant type and requests a token from the API.

    • id_token. Specifies that the client application requests an ID token.

    • code token. Specifies that the client application requests an access token, access token type, and an authorization code.

    • token id_token. Specifies that the client application requests an access token, access token type, and an ID token.

    • code id_token. Specifies that the client application requests an authorization code and an ID token.

    • code token id_token. Specifies that the client application requests an authorization code, access token, access token type, and an ID token.

    Add Claims

    Claims can be entered as simple strings, such as name, email, profile, or sub. Or, as a pipe-separated string in the format: scope|locale|localized description. For example, name|en|Full name of user.

    Allow wildcard ports in redirect URLs

    Specify whether AM allows the use of wildcards (* characters) in the redirection URI port to match one or more ports.

    The URL configured in the redirection URI must be either localhost, 127.0.01, or ::1. For example, http://localhost:*/, https://127.0.0.1:80*/, or https://[::1]:*443/.

    Enable this setting, for example, for desktop applications that start a web server on a random free port during the OAuth 2.0 flow.
    Authentication

    Token Endpoint
    Authentication Method

    Authentication method client uses to authenticate to AM.
    Choose one:

    • client_secret_basic. Clients authenticate using the HTTP Basic authentication scheme after receiving a client_secret value.

    • client_secret_post. Clients authenticate by including the client credentials in the request body after receiving a client_secret value.

    • private_key_jwt. Clients sign a JSON web token (JWT) with a registered public key.

    Token Endpoint Authentication Method (Client Type)

    • Confidential clients can maintain the confidentiality of their credentials. For example, a web application runs on a server where its credentials are protected.

    • Public clients run the risk of exposing their passwords to a host or user agent. For example, a JavaScript client running in a browser may be accessible to the public.

    Implied Consent

    When enabled, the resource owner will not be asked for consent during authorization flows. The OAuth2 Provider must also be configured to allow clients to skip consent.

    OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation active

    Enable this setting only if this OAuth 2.0 client supports the OAuth 2.0 Mix-Up Mitigation draft; otherwise AM will fail to validate access token requests received from this client.

    Add Default ACR values

    Default Authentication Context Class Reference values. Specify strings that will be requested as Voluntary Claims by default in all incoming requests.

    Add Request URIs

    Specify request_uri values that a dynamic client would pre-register.

    Client JWT Bearer
    Public Key

    A base64-encoded X509 certificate in PEM format used to obtain the client’s JWT bearer public key. The client uses the private key to sign client authentication and access token request JWTs, while AM uses the public key for verification.

    Subject Type

    Default value is public.

    • Choose pairwise if you want each client to receive a different subject value. This prevents correlation between clients.

    • Choose public if you want each client to receive the same subject value.

    Default Max Age

    Enable this option to enforce a default maximum age of ten minutes. If the user session is not currently active, and if more than ten minutes have passed since the user last authenticated, then the user must be authenticated again.

    Use Certificate-Bound Access Tokens

    Enable this option if you want access tokens issued to this client to be bound to an X.509 certificate. When enabled, access tokens will use the X.509 certificate to authenticate to the access_token endpoint.
    Token Lifetimes

    Authorization code lifetime (seconds)

    The time an authorization code is valid for.
    Default value: 120

    Access token lifetime (seconds)

    The time an access token is valid for, in seconds
    If you set the value to 0, the access token will not be valid. A maximum lifetime of 600 seconds is recommended. Default value: 3600

    Refresh token lifetime (seconds)

    The time a refresh token is valid for.
    If this field is set to -1, the refresh token will never expire. Default value: 604800

    JWT token lifetime (seconds)

    The amount of time the JWT is valid for. Default value: 3600

    JSON Web Key URI

    The URI that contains the client public keys in JSON web key format.

    JSON Web Key

    Raw JSON web key value containing the client public keys.

    ID Token Encryption Public Key

    Base64-encoded public key for encrypting ID tokens.

    Enable ID Token Encryption

    When enabled, encryption uses the algorithm with which the ID token must be encrypted. Default algorithm value is RSA1_5 (RSAES-PKCS1-V1_5).

  6. Click Save.

Supported application types

When you register an application or service, Advanced Identity Cloud automatically sets the optimal configuration for you. To change the default settings, edit the client profile.

Native / SPA

Native applications are developed for specific platforms or devices. Examples include the applications on mobile phones and applications dedicated to the macOS platform.

Single-page applications (SPAs) are OAuth 2.0 clients that run in a user’s web browser. SPAs use PKCE to verify the client because SPAs do not have a way to secure the client_secret value. PKCE stands for Proof Key Code Exchange; a security standard explained in the IETF specification Proof Key for Code Exchange by OAuth Public Clients.

For a deep dive on how ForgeRock implements PKCE for native and SPA applications, learn more in Authorization code grant with PKCE.

Web

Web applications are OAuth 2.0 clients that run on a web server. End users (resource owners) access web applications using a web browser. The application makes API calls using a server-side programming language. The end user has no access to the OAuth 2.0 client secret or any access tokens issued by the authorization server.

Service

Machine-to-machine (M2M) applications interact with an API and no user involvement is necessary. The application can ask for an access token without involving a user in the process. A smart meter that tracks your utility usage and wearable devices that gather and communicate health data use services and M2M applications.

OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect

Advanced Identity Cloud uses OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect to protect your applications.

OAuth 2.0

Advanced Identity Cloud provides an authorization service in the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow. OAuth 2.0 lets you set up access to your resources without sharing end-user account information. For a deep dive, learn more in RFC6749.

You may encounter domain validation prompts when using forgeblocks.com and id.forgerock.io domains as redirect URLs in your Google OAuth 2.0 applications. To resolve this, you must use a custom domain, and then set up domain verification with Google.

You could encounter No provider found errors when using forgeblocks.com and id.forgerock.io domains as redirect URLs in your OAuth 2.0 applications. To resolve this, either modify the redirect URL to include a realm identifier, or use a custom domain:

  • Incorrect:
    https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/am/oauth2/client/form_post/...

  • Correct:
    https://<tenant-env-fqdn>/am/oauth2/<realm>/client/form_post/...
    or
    https://<custom-domain-fqdn>/am/oauth2/client/form_post/...

A custom domain acts as a realm DNS alias, so when it is used as a redirect URL, Advanced Identity Cloud implicitly knows which realm to use.

OpenID Connect

OpenID Connect (OIDC) provides an identity layer on top of OAuth 2.0. OIDC lets a client make assertions about the user’s identity and their means of authentication. For a deep dive, learn more in OIDC grant flows.

What’s in the client profile

Changing the client profile settings requires a working knowledge of OAuth 2.0, its grant types, and its components. If no one has given you direction on how to configure the client profile, you’ll want to read up on some basic concepts.

Scopes

Scopes limit your client application’s access to end users' resources. For a deep dive on how scopes work, learn more in Scopes.

Grant types

Grant types, also known as grant flows, describe how your application or service access gets an access token. Learn more about grant types in OAuth 2.0 grant flows.

Claims

Claims convey information about the end user to your client application or service. For a deep dive on claims, learn more in the Claims.

Access tokens

Your applications and services use access tokens when making requests on behalf of a user. Tokens provide proof that your application or service is authorized to access the end user’s data. For a deep dive on access tokens, learn more in Advanced Identity Cloud as authorization server.

Keys

Keys protect sensitive information that Advanced Identity Cloud needs to both send and receive. You can store keys in ESV secrets, then use them in OAuth 2.0 authentication flows by mapping the ESVs to secret labels.

Test SAML 2.0 SSO using JSP flows

The topics in this section are for tenants created before January 12, 2023. Learn more in Application management migration FAQ.

SAML 2.0 helps organizations to share(or federate) identities and services without having to manage the identities or credentials themselves.

These instructions describe how to launch an SP-initiated JSP flow to test SAML 2.0 SSO. PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud acts as the authentication service provider (SP) in a circle of trust (CoT). For this test, a self-managed AM instance acts as the identity provider (IDP).

Before identities can be federated in a CoT, an AM module named Federation must be present in the SP configuration.

In self-managed AM instances, by default the Federation module is ready-to-use.

In Advanced Identity Cloud AM instances, you must manually create a module named Federation when you create an SP circle of trust.

Step 1: Set up an SP and an IDP

  1. Set up the Advanced Identity Cloud AM instance as a service provider:

    1. In the AM admin UI (native console), go to
      Realm Name > Applications > Federation > Entity Providers.

    2. Click + Add Entity Provider > Hosted, and add a hosted entity provider:

      • Entity ID: Enter a unique identifier. Example: Cloud-SP.

      • Service Provider Meta Alias: Provide an SP alias. Example: cloud-sp.

    3. Export the SP metadata to an XML file. Example export metadata URL:
      https://<tenant-FQDN>/am/saml2/jsp/exportmetadata.jsp?entityid=<SP-Entity-ID>&realm=/alpha.

  2. Set up the self-managed AM instance as an identity provider:

    1. In the AM admin UI (self managed), go to
      Top Level Realm > Applications > Federation > Entity Providers.

    2. Click + Add Entity Provider > Hosted, and add a hosted entity provider:

      • Entity ID: Enter a unique identifier. Example: AM-IDP.

      • Meta Alias: Provide an IDP alias. Example: am-idp.

    3. Export the IDP metadata to an XML file. Example export metadata URL:
      https://<IDP-host-FQDN>/openam/saml2/jsp/exportmetadata.jsp?entityid=<IDP-Entity-ID>.

  3. In the Advanced Identity Cloud AM instance, add a remote entity provider by importing the IDP metadata:

    1. In the AM admin UI (native console), go to
      Realm Name > Authentication > Federation > Entity Providers.

    2. Click + Add Entity Provider > Remote.

    3. Import the IDP metadata.

  4. In the self-managed AM instance, add a remote entity provider by importing the SP metadata:

    1. In the AM admin UI (self managed), go to:
      Top Level Realm > Authentication > Federation > Entity Providers.

    2. Click + Add Entity Provider > Remote.

    3. Import the SP metadata.

  5. Create a user profile on the SP and IDP:

    1. SP: In the AM admin UI (native console), go to Identities and add a user identity.

    2. IDP: In the AM admin UI (self managed), go to Identities and add a user identity.

Step 2: Create an SP circle of trust

  1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud AM instance, create a circle of trust:

    1. In the AM admin UI (native console), go to
      Realm Name > Applications > Federation > Circles of Trust.

    2. Click + Add Circle of Trust.

    3. On the New Circle of Trust page, provide a name, then click Create.

    4. On the CoT page, provide CoT details.

      CoT details:

      • Description: Enter a unique identifier.

      • Entity Providers: Choose the entity IDs for the SP and IDP.
        Examples: Cloud-SP AM-IDP

    5. Click Save Changes.

  2. In the Advanced Identity Cloud AM instance, create a federation module:

    1. In the AM admin UI (native console), go to
      Realm Name > Authentication > Modules.

    2. On the Modules page, click Add Module. Enter module details:

      • Name: Must be named Federation.

      • Type: Must be type Federation.

    3. Click Save Changes.

  3. In the Advanced Identity Cloud AM instance, configure the page the browser displays upon successful SSO:

    1. In the AM admin UI (native console), go to
      Realm Name > Applications > Federation > Entity Providers.

    2. In the Cloud-SP entity provider page, select the Advanced tab.

    3. In the Relay State URL List field, add the target URL for the SP end-user sign-in page.
      Example: https://<tenant-FDQN>/enduser/?realm=alpha#/dashboard.

    4. Click Save Changes.

Step 3: Create an IDP circle of trust

  1. In the AM admin UI (self managed), go to
    Top Level Realm > Applications > Circles of Trust.

  2. Click + Add Circle of Trust.

  3. On the New Circle of Trust page, provide a name, then click Create.

  4. On the CoT page, provide CoT details.

    CoT details:

    • Description: Enter a unique identifier.

    • Entity Providers: Choose the entity IDs for the SP and IDP.
      Examples: Cloud-SP AM-IDP.

  5. Click Save Changes.

Step 4: Test SAML 2.0 SSO

  1. In a browser, go the JSP URL to launch an SP-initiated JSP flow. Example:
    https://<tenant-FQDN>/am/saml2/jsp/spSSOInit.jsp?realm=/alpha/&metaAlias=/alpha/cloud-sp&idpEntityID=AM-IDP&binding=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST&NameIDformat=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent&RelayState=https://<tenant-FQDN>/enduser/?realm=alpha#/dashboard.

  2. On the IDP sign-in page, enter the user’s credentials:

    Keep this session open. The IDP authenticates the user, then the browser redirects the user back to the SP sign-in page.

  3. On the SP sign-in page, enter the user’s credentials:

    After this second successful authentication, the user’s SP identity is linked to, or federated with, the user’s IDP identity.

    The browser redirects to the SP end-user page.

  4. Sign the user out of both the SP and IDP.

  5. Go to the IDP end-user sign-in page, and enter the user’s credentials.

    When the user is successfully authenticated, the browser redirects to the SP end-user page specified in Relay State URL List.
