Configure the PingOne Provider In Directory Manager

While creating the PingOne provider in Directory Manager, you simply have to import the PingOne metadata file to configure all settings for this identity provider.

Configure the Provider in Directory Manager​

  1. In Directory Manager Authenticate, click the SAML Providers tab.
  2. On the SAML Providers page, click New Provider.
  3. On the Create New Provider page, enter a name for the provider in the Name box.
  4. Make sure the Client box displays the name of the Directory Manager client for which you generated the consumer URL and the Directory Manager metadata file (see the Generate the Consumer URL and Metadata File topic).
    To continue with the example, select the Directory Manager portal named Wizard.
  5. Click the Import from Metadata button under the Advanced section to import the PingOne metadata file.
  6. On the Import Settings from IDP provided Metadata File dialog box, click Browse to select the PingOne metadata file downloaded earlier. Then click Upload. With this, several fields on the Create New Provider page are automatically filled in.
  7. When PingOne is configured with a Directory Manager client, it will be available on the login page of that client (the Wizard portal in our example) for single sign-on. You can choose to display the PingOne authentication option as an image or a button. See the Upload an Image for the Identity Provider topic for details, replacing references to AD FS with PingOne.
  8. Expand the Advanced section on the Create New Provider page.
  9. The Response Signing Method box displays RSA-SHA-256 as the signing method type. We configured this method as the signing algorithm in PingOne.
  10. For Disable GroupID Authentication, see step 2 in the Specify Advanced Configurations topic. Replace references to AD FS with the PingOne provider.
  11. In the Request Binding list, select POST, since the Single Logout Binding Type is set to Post in PingOne.
  12. Click the Create Provider button. The identity provider is created and displayed on the SAML Providers page.
