For those working as IAM admins, analyst, engineers, etc., configuring connections between various platforms and adding external IdPs can be a pretty regular occurrence depending on your duties. If you’re managing any sort of federation, provisioning, SSO, MFA, or authentication in general, then you’re probably very used to this process.
I thought it would be cool to show the process for those interested or considering a role in IAM security. I enjoy the integration process and having to figure out the small differences between platforms or providers in terms of expected attributes, the names they use, and figuring out what different errors mean.
PingOne has made the process pretty easy with the providers they integrate with directly. Personally I like to try as many IAM tools and integrations as I can, including those I may or may not use on a daily basis.
If you’re using Azure AD to authenticate your users, PingOne makes it easy to integrate with their platform in order to provide SSO for a bunch of other tools, services, and applications.
I suggest trying the demo for yourself if you’re interested!

Hi

Did you set Azure AD as an IdP? Is it configured properly on both sides?

Cross posting from your YouTube channel.
This is great, thank you. However, I am having a issue where when entering credentials to authenticate to ping myapps portal, it redirects me to Azure AD login prompt to enter my credentials again. If I enter my credentials again in the Azure AD login prompt it then redirects me back to ping and I authenticate. This occurs regardless what browser I am using and if I am in private browser mode or not. Can’t seem to get past this. Have followed instructions to the letter and validated. What am I missing?

Hey Kyle, this seems correct. Azure is your IdP so you will always need to authenticate against Azure when logging into Ping, it should always redirect you so that you can authenticate in Azure. If you aren’t already signed into Azure you will get prompted to sign in.
