Ping SDKs

OIDC login to PingAM tutorial for Android

In this tutorial you update a sample app that uses OIDC-based login to obtain tokens by redirecting to the PingAM UI for authentication.

The sample connects to the .well-known endpoint of your PingAM server to obtain the correct URIs to authenticate the user, and redirects to your PingAM server’s login UI.

After authentication, PingAM redirects the browser back to your application, which then obtains an OAuth 2.0 access token and displays the related user information.

Before you begin

Before you begin this tutorial ensure you have set up your PingAM server with the required configuration.

For example, you will need to have an OAuth 2.0 client application set up, and a demo user to authenticate.

Complete prerequisites

Step 1. Download the samples

To start this tutorial, you need to download the SDK sample apps repo, which contains the projects you will use.

Start step 1

Step 2. Configure connection properties

In this step, you configure the sample app to connect to the OAuth 2.0 application you created in PingAM.

Start step 2

Step 3. Test the app

To test the app, run the sample that you configured in the previous step.

The sample connects to your PingAM server to obtain the correct URIs to authenticate the user, and redirects the browser to your PingAM server.

After authentication, PingAM redirects the browser back to your application, which then obtains an OAuth 2.0 access token and displays the related user information.
