The first time you access the PingFederate administrative console and after you have accepted the subscription agreement, you see two choices on how to proceed:

  • Yes, Connect to PingOne for Enterprise
  • No, Set Up Without PingOne for Enterprise

To continue setting up PingFederate, select No, Set Up Without PingOne for Enterprise. Click Next.

Important:

Selecting Yes, Connect to PingOne for Enterprise takes you to the setup for PingFederate Bridge. PingFederate Bridge is a light-weight version of PingFederate that is meant for use primarily by new customers who want to quickly and easily configure user authentication from an on-premise directory to PingOne for Enterprise in the cloud. For information about setting up and using PingFederate Bridge, see the associated documentation starting with Introduction to PingFederate Bridge.
