Sign In Using PingOne

We configured PingOne with a Directory Manager client, that is the Directory Manager portal Wizard in our example. We also created a user in PingOne who should be able to sign into the Wizard portal using the PingOne single sign-on option.

For single sign-on using PingOne, we can choose any of the following ways:

  • SP-initiated single sign-on - when the SSO operation is initiated from the SP end, i.e., from the Directory Manager portal, Wizard.
  • IdP-initiated single sign-on - when the SSO operation is initiated from the IdP end, i.e., from PingOne.

SP-Initiated Single Sign-On​

  1. Launch the Directory Manager portal Wizard.
    The availability of the user name and password fields depends on whether you disabled Directory Manager Authentication or not (see step 10 in the Configure the Provider in Directory Manager topic).
  2. Click the button for PingOne; the PingOne Sign In page is displayed.
  3. Enter your credentials and sign in. You will be routed to the main page of the Directory Manager portal Wizard.
    Only users defined for our app in PingOne can log in using PingOne single sign-on. See the Configure Users in PingOne topic.

With single sign-on, you can now launch any Directory Manager client without having to sign in again.

IdP-Initiated Single Sign-On​

  1. Launch the PingOne portal using the URL provided by your organization and sign in.
    The PingOne dashboard will be displayed. It lists the apps configured with PingOne for single sign-on.
  2. On clicking an app, you will be redirected to it. Authentication will not be required.
