The following Java code example retrieves an identity provider (IdP) list from the web service. The program calls the getIDPList method in the SSO Directory Service to retrieve an IdP list and print it to the console. This example uses the Apache Axis library and includes optional code for authentication to the PingFederate server. For more information see Configuring service authentication. HTTPS is recommended when including credentials.
