An SP adapter is used to create a local-application session for a user in order for PingFederate to provide SSO access to your applications or other protected resources. You must configure at least one instance of an SP adapter in order to set up connections to IdP partners. You can also configure multiple instances of adapters (based on one or more adapters) to accommodate the varying needs of your IdP partners.
PingFederate comes bundled with OpenToken Adapter. You can also deploy additional integration kits from the Ping Identity Downloads website.
You manage SP adapter instances on the screen.
