Unleashing the Power of Orchestration in Self-Managed PingFederate Environments

If you’re here, PingFederate is a crucial part of your operations and you’re looking to elevate your IAM game to new heights. Managing digital identity can sometimes feel like you’re blind, juggling flaming torches, and riding a unicycle simultaneously. That's why IAM admins like you demand more visibility and easier control of user journeys. Enter orchestration, which we – and the top analyst firms in the world – have been talking about a lot lately.

Orchestration is pivotal to crafting secure and seamless user account creation and authentication flows. It’s a flexible and adaptive integration framework behind an easy-to-use UI that allows you to quickly design automated user journeys with a drag-and-drop interface. The “nodes” you string together into journeys call your various IdP and related services and tell them to execute specific tasks or steps along the journey. That eliminates the need for coding or involving developers, whose time is in high demand, paying dividends for your enterprise for years to come. Don’t just take it from us, according to Mulesoft, custom integrations cost companies like yours over 4.7 Million dollars per year!¹

You’re probably saying, “I’ve heard you [Ping] talk about PingOne DaVinci for two years and I can’t use it because it SaaS.” Well, have we got a big unveil for you! With the newly combined capabilities of Ping and ForgeRock, we’ve developed something special to make your life easier – orchestration and multi-factor authentication (MFA) designed specifically for our self-managed PingFederate customers via PingAM.

You spoke, and we listened. Here’s what you told us:

• Full Control: You need to manage all IAM software within your private network/cloud.

• No-Code/Low-Code Tools: You want to design user journeys without extensive coding.

• Versatile Authentication Method: Support for various authentication flows, including username-password and push notifications, is essential.

• Contextual Agility: To beat the competition you need context and the agility to craft personalized experiences.

Orchestration with PingAM’s Intelligent Access gives you complete visibility into your user journeys. It reduces costs, speeds up time to market, and fosters innovation.

Consolidating your vast and complex IAM ecosystem with one vendor saves time and money. Don’t just take it from us, 40% of IT leaders cite integration as a key priority.² While there are other on-prem orchestration solutions in the market, none offer the benefits of working with the mission-critical IAM vendor you already trust, until now with PingAM.

Beyond the fact that Ping’s already your trusted partner, we understand that incremental change is necessary for success. No one wants to make a whole bunch of changes all at once and incur the wrath that comes with users suddenly being unable to log in. With PingAM, you can gradually and methodically change your authentication policies to flows and update only what makes the most sense for your business at that time. Additionally, you can continue to leverage all of the connectors and integrations you’ve already configured in PingFederate.

Our integration kit for PingFederate and PingAM makes interoperability a breeze. Before you know it, you’ll start building user journeys using a no-code canvas. This integration simplifies your policy configurations in PingFederate, reducing complexity while enhancing manageability and security.

Simply deploy the integration kit and configure the policy in PingFederate to use the adapter. From there, leverage the node in PingAM in any authentication journey and you’re off to the races. With our drag-and-drop interface, you can create anything from a basic username-password login to a high-security MFA setup with push notifications. And the best part? You stay in full control of your infrastructure.

In this webinar, we show the end-to-end setup and how PingFederate and PingAM work together. It shows just how flexible and powerful our new solution is, making it easier than ever to manage authentication policies.
