Tour the Product
It helps enterprises build a unified profile from disparate data sources with proven deployments in the hundreds of millions of Entries.
Let's tour the platform.
With PingDirectory, you can create a unified profile through bidirectional real-time Synchronization to and from LDAP, RDBMS, JDBC, or SCIM data stores.
You can also store structured and unstructured data to create rich user profiles including Credentials, profile data, photos, privacy choices, and more.
As a central source for authentication, Ping Directory supports hundreds of millions of Identities with sub-millisecond response times, even during peak usage.
PingDirectory makes accessing your data simple.
As an alternative to LDAP, the Ping Directory REST API provides developers direct access to Directory data in a way that's dynamic, discoverable, and efficient.
Beyond providing API access to user data, you can securely delegate administrative tasks such As password resets, profile updates, and more to your customer service and help desk teams.
PingDirectory provides several ways to enhance your security.
Password validators allow you to quickly implement password requirements with over 10 Out-of-the-box validators to choose from.
Another way is through secure password storage.
PingDirectory enables numerous out-of-the-box password storage schemes, such as salted SHA and Argon2, which makes it difficult or impossible for someone to determine the clear text Passwords from the encoded values.
PingDirectory also supports the ability to cryptographically sign a log.
This ensures that entries can be properly validated and that they have not been modified.
By an unauthorized party.
Additionally, client connection policies allow you to limit resource access and consumption For certain clients, preventing insider attacks and preserving resources for business-critical APPs.
With account status notifications and Admin Alerts, you can be notified via email or SMS when server usage has exceeded a certain Threshold, when end-user account lockouts occur, and if other security events take place.
