An IdP adapter is used to look up session information and provide user identification to PingFederate. You must configure at least one instance of an IdP adapter in order to set up connections to SP partners.
PingFederate comes bundled with the PingID integration kit and the following adapters:
- HTML Form Adapter
- HTTP Basic Adapter
- Kerberos Adapter
- OpenToken Adapter
- Composite Adapter
- PingID Adapter
You can also deploy additional integration kits from the Ping Identity Downloads website.
You manage IdP adapter instances on the screen.
