Depending on the sensitivity of information and processing capabilities of each application, an organization can determine that multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements for some applications are more stringent than for others.
PingOne provides the capability to define multiple MFA sign-on policies. You can configure one application to use a particular sign-on policy and another application to use a different policy.
The authentication flow is configured at the application level through a sign-on policy. If you don't assign a sign-on policy to your web application, it uses the environment's default sign-on policy. You can create multiple sign-on policies and associate them with different OpenID Connect (OIDC) applications.
You can also associate multiple sign-on policies with a single application. Policies are applied in the order in which they appear in the list. PingOne evaluates the first policy in the list first. If the requirements of the policy are not met, PingOne moves to the next policy in the list.
