The PingFederate SDK provides the classes and interfaces necessary to integrate external applications and services with the PingFederate server as well as the ability to customize some behaviors of the system.
The primary integration point for PingFederate is communicating authentication and security context information between the server and an external application or service. This is accomplished via the authentication adapters. Authentication adapter interfaces to be realized as well as numerous supporting classes can be found in the org.sourceid.saml20.adapter.** packages. The adapter interface(s) that need to be implemented are dependent on the SAML role that the PingFederate server will be functioning in.
PingFederate as a Service Provider
Operating PingFederate in the role of a SAML 2 Service Provider (SP) requires that you have at least one
implementation of an SpAuthenticationAdapter
deployed on the server.
PingFederate as an Identity Provider
Operating PingFederate in the role of a SAML 2 Identity Provider (IdP) requires that you have at least one
implementation of an IdpAuthenticationAdapter
deployed on the server.
The service interfaces define the contract for a number of functional services that the PingFederate server needs to function properly. In general the services involve the storage, retrieval, and maintenance of particular pieces of data that the server needs to process protocol transactions. Some deployments of the server might require that some or all data be managed in a particular way. For example, in a clustered environment, much of the data must be replicated or accessible between each node in the cluster. The interfaces themselves and their particular details are in the org.sourceid.saml20.service package.
One or more implementations of each interface are provided out-of-the-box with the PingFederate server and the majority of deployments will not require any custom implementations. All the standard implementations can be found in the org.sourceid.saml20.service.impl.** packages. It is advisable to evaluate what has been provided there before doing custom implementations. Implementations are provided that will facilitate a standalone PingFederate deployment as well as a number of clustered deployments.
