PingFederate stores customer identities in PingDirectory . Once you have installed PingDirectory, update the LDAP schema with a new object class and a couple attributes to store customer identities and their connections. (An LDIF file is provided.) To optimize performance, updates in indexes should also be applied to the directory. In addition, you must configure in PingFederate an LDAP datastore connection to your PingDirectory and an LDAP Username Password Credential Validator instance for the HTML Form Adapter to validate user credentials. If you have already created these components, you may reuse them.
Skip this configuration if your use case does not involve registration or profile management (see Enabling third-party identity providers without registration).
