SignOn.com now a Demo for PingFederate's "Auto-Connect"

« Ping Identity Wins Morgan Stanley CTO Summit Award | Main | Over 100 SaaS & BPO Providers Choose Ping! »

A few months back, we added PingFederate to SignOn.com, giving the service basic SAML single sign-on capabilities. One of the reasons we did this was that we wanted to make it easier for people to demonstrate Auto-Connect, a feature built into PingFederate which eliminated the need for manual SAML configuration. In the past month, we've worked to complete that demonstration, which can now be found at http://autoconnect.pingidentity.com.

Instructions

Step 1: Go to SignOn.com and create an account.

Step 2: Enable Google Apps for your account via My Account (more details here. This will give you an email address e.g. joe@signon.com.

Step 3: Go to http://autoconnect.pingidentity.com, type in your SignOn.com email address and click ‘Sign In’. You will be redirected to SignOn.com for authentication and then SSO to autoconnect.pingidentity.com.

For all the technical background, Ashish has written up full details here.
