Administrators can optionally enable notifications for account management events. If enabled, PingFederate generates notification messages based on the following events.
See the following table for a description of an event and the corresponding alert.
| Event | Alert |
|---|---|
| An administrator turns off the Notify Administrator of Account Changes option. | PingFederate generates a notification message to all administrators.
The message includes the username of the administrator who made the change. |
| An administrator's email address is updated by another administrator. | PingFederate generates a notification message to the previous email
address and another notification to the new email address. The message includes the username of the administrator who made the change. |
| An administrator's password is changed. | PingFederate generates a notification to the administrator whose
password has been changed. The message includes the username of the administrator who made the change. |
Account management events are only applicable when native authentication is enabled for the administrative console, the administrative API, or both in the <pf_install>/pingfederate/bin/run.properties file. If you are using an alternative console authentication, notifications, if any, such as password changes, are handled by the third-party system.
