The .NET Integration Kit identity provider (IdP) sample application demonstrates IdP-initiated single sign-on (SSO) and single logout (SLO) use cases.
The IdP sample application simulates the IdP-initiated SSO/SLO scenario in which users authenticate to an IdP locally in order to access a remote SP application. In this scenario, users may be accessing a company portal that provides links to partner applications such as local news and weather, stock market information, and HR and 401(k) benefits.
When you authenticate locally to the IdP sample application, no communication occurs between that application and PingFederate. The user authenticates using the local user store; no SAML use cases are invoked. However, when you click a link to a third-party application, such as your company's health care provider, the IdP initiates an SSO transaction.
