OIDC login to PingOne tutorial for JavaScript

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

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

After authentication, PingOne 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 PingOne 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. Install the Ping SDK

The sample projects need a number of dependencies that you can install by using the npm command.

For example, the Ping SDK for JavaScript itself is one of the dependencies.

Start step 2

Step 3. Configure connection properties

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

Start step 3

Step 4. Test the app

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

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