PingOne, a renowned cloud-based identity and access management (IAM) solution provided by Ping Identity, offers secure single sign-on (SSO) capabilities, multifactor authentication (MFA), and user provisioning features. By integrating PingOne with Remote Desktop Manager, organizations can leverage these robust security features directly within their remote desktop management environment.
In PingOne, permissions are assigned based on the type of application. For a worker, permissions come from predefined roles, while permissions for all other types of apps come directly from the user. For PingOne we need two applications unlike Azure or Okta.
This application is used to find users and groups from the directory.
Both Environment Admin and Identity Admin roles are required.
The following are the required configuration settings in PingOne.
Here are the required configuration settings for the application used to authenticate a user to our system using their PingOne identity. The required configuration settings are located in the Overview tab.
The basic URL for the worker application is api.pingone.[com, ca, eu, asia]/v1. Note that the URL depends on where PingOne is deployed.
