Token generators provide a mechanism through which PingFederate can generate a local token based upon an incoming SAML token, including mapping user attributes to be included in the generated token. A configured and deployed token generator in PingFederate is known as a token generator instance.
Map one or more token generator instances into an identity provider (IdP) connection to satisfy different token requirements by the web services at your site. The same token generator instances can be mapped in multiple connections.
When token generator instances are restricted to certain virtual server IDs, the allowed IDs are displayed under Virtual Server IDs.
