X.509 (SmartCard) Integration Kit for PingFederate

« What he said | Main | The Freedom to Choose »

We recently completed an X.509 Integration Kit to allow for Certificate based authentication to PingFederate. The kit will be available for download shortly.

The PingFederate X.509 Certificate IdP Integration Kit provides an Identity Provider (IdP) Adapter for PingFederate. This Adapter allows a PingFederate IdP server to perform client X.509 certificate authentication for single sign-on (SSO) to Service Provider (SP) applications.

The X.509 Certificate IdP Adapter uses the PingFederate security infrastructure for certificate validation and management. PingFederate validates the trust of all certificates. A certificate is trusted if the root certificate of the issuing Certificate Authority (CA) is imported into the PingFederate trusted certificate store.
