In this guide, you're going to learn how to connect PingIdentity with Better Stack to enable single sign-on (SSO) for you and your colleagues.

We're going to switch to the PingIdentity console now.

  8. Click Save to continue.

  9. Toggle the switch in the top-right corner to enable the application.

  10. Under Connection Details, take a note of the Initiate Single Sign-On URL, we're going to need this in a second.

  11. Click on Download Signing Certificate, and choose the X509 PEM (.crt) format. Save the file, we're going to need it in a second.

  12. Click on the Attribute Mappings tab.

  13. Click on the Edit icon, to edit attribute mappings.

  14. Click Add, then fill in email on the left and select Email Address on the right.

  15. Click Add again, then fill in first_name on the left and select Given Name on the right.

  16. Click Add one final time, then fill in last_name on the left and select Family Name on the right.

  17. Click Save to save the new attribute mappings.

We're returning to Better Stack now.

  2. Under X.509 Certificate, click Upload and select the certificate file from PingIdentity.
