PingID SDK Package 1.3 (January 31, 2019) - PingID

Enhancements

PingID SDK has been extended with the following features:

QR code based authentication

QR code based authentication is now available for PingID SDK, providing secure passwordless authentication for both customer server and PingFederate implementations. PingID SDK authentication flows optimize the user experience, and allow the user to choose between the already supported push based authentication and the new passwordless login option, which is particularly significant in cases where a user logs on from a public computer. Refer to Supported PingID SDK adapter for PingFederate flows and Supported multifactor authentication (MFA) methods for further information.

Transaction approval for PingFederate

Transaction approval using context-related information (dynamic parameters) is now available for the PingID SDK adapter for PingFederate. Refer to Supported PingID SDK adapter for PingFederate flows and Supported multifactor authentication (MFA) methods for further information.

Multiple apps on one PingID SDK adapter

Support for linking multiple apps to one PingID SDK adapter. (Previously, a separate adapter was required for each app.) Refer to Configuring the PingID SDK adapter for PingFederate (Create and configure an adapter > APPLICATION ID) for further details.

Proxy support

Proxy support for the PingID SDK adapter for PingFederate. Refer to Know the PingID SDK using the Moderno sample app (PingID SDK properties file) for further information.

Mobile APIs

PingID mobile SDK for iOS and Android was extended with the following new mobile APIs:

Mobile API	Description

Note: setAuthenticationUserSelection has new parameters in PingID SDK Mobile SDK 1.2. The previous version of setAuthenticationUserSelection is supported for backward compatibility.
