A CIBA authenticator is responsible for authenticating users through an out-of-band method.

You may use the PingFederate SDK to implement a custom solution. For more information, refer to the Javadoc for the OOBAuthPlugin interface, the SampleEmailAuthPlugin.java file for a sample implementation, and the SDK developer's guide for build and deployment information.

Tip:

The Javadoc for PingFederate and the sample implementation are located under the <pf_install>/pingfederate/sdk directory.

Once deployed, you can create one or more instance configurations of the authenticator.

  • To configure a new instance, click Create New Instance.
  • To modify an existing instance, select it by its name under Instance Name.
  • To review the usage of an existing instance, click Check Usage under Action.
  • To remove an existing instance or to cancel the removal request, click Delete or Undelete under Action.
  • To retain any configuration changes, click Save.
  • To discard any configuration changes, click Cancel.
