Virtual Server Support
PingFederate now supports the notion of ‘virtual servers’. To accommodate this feature, one may now use distinct protocol identifiers in the context of a particular partner connection. This feature considerably expands the ways in which the system can be used and deployed including, but not limited to, multiple connections between single federation endpoints the ability for a clustered set of PingFederate servers to front-end several federations in a hosted service environment.
Virtual Host Names
PingFederate 4.3.0 now allows an administrator to specify a list of additional valid host names for incoming protocol message validation. This allows PingFederate to be used in new deployments (virtual hosting and advanced reverse proxy configurations) while still adhering to the security intentions of the SAML specifications.
Streamlined Single Adapter Connections
When an IdP connection is configured to use only a single SP Adapter Instance, the system will now ignore the URL-to-Adapter mapping step at runtime and just use the given adapter. This simplifies configuration and reduces the potential for errors.
