To keep your applications secure, rotate certificates and client secrets on a regular basis, and apply updated security configurations to applications built from templates if new configuration templates become available. There is no need to recreate your applications in PingCentral to apply new templates. You can just replace the templates associated with your applications and promote them again.
  1. Click the expandable icon associated with the application you want to update. Then, click the pencil icon.

    All of the editable information displays on one page.
    Example of the SAML application information owners can update.
  2. To update application names, descriptions, and owners:
    • Enter the new information in the Name, Description, and Owners fields.
    • Click Save.
  3. To update the template associated with the application, complete the following steps. You cannot apply a SAML template to an OAuth or OIDC application, or apply an OAuth or OIDC template to a SAML application.

    For OAuth or OIDC applications:

    • Click Change Template.
    • On the Select Template page, select the new template and click Save and Close.

    For SAML applications:

    • Click Change Template.
    • On the Select Template page, select the new template and click Next.
    • On the Map Attributes page, map the application attributes to the identity attributes required to fulfill the authentication policy contract in PingFederate.
    • Click Save and Close.
  4. To update information you provided to promote your application, complete the following steps:

    For OAuth or OIDC applications:

    • Enter the new information in the Redirect URIs fields.
    • Click Save.

    For SAML applications:

    • Click the expandable icon next to the application you want to update and enter the new information in the Entity ID or ACS URL fields, or click the Certificate button to upload a new certificate.

      Or, upload an .xml file that contains service provider metadata, such as the Entity ID, ACS URL, certificates, and attribute information, from a similar SAML application. Click Choose and upload the metadata file.

      (For instructions on creating an .xml file from a similar application, see Downloading service provider metadata.)

      Or, click the Or Use URL link to provide a link to the metadata file.

    • Click Save.
  5. To update attribute mappings for a SAML application, update the information in the Attribute Mappings page and click Save.
  6. To update the client secret associated with an OAuth or OIDC application, return to the Applications page, repromote the application, and generate a new secret.
