Ever thought of how you can achieve the following:

• Login to Salesforce with your LDAP or Active Directory credentials?
• share the same login credentials with all your SaaS applications?
• have the flexibility to provision/de-provision users ?

With Ping Identity, all this is possible. You can configure your LDAP or Active Directory as the identity store and your users can authenticate using their credentials in your company directory.

Besides Salesforce, PingIdentity’s PingConnect and PingFederate can authenticate to more than 60 SaaS applications.  Anything that’s SAML capable will work with PingConnect.  If the app isn’t SAML capable, no problem, just use PingFederate.

Another interesting feature that makes Ping Identity the unique player in the market is the user provisioning feature.  You can easily activate or deactivate a user in just a few clicks.

We have built an LDAP Connector using the Boomi Atomsphere SDK.  The requirement was for Active Directory (AD) to Netsuite application integration for the synchronisation of Contact and authentication information between the client’s AD implementation and their Netsuite customer portal.  We chose to build an LDAP Connector for the solution. The Connector  can create, modify and activate users. It also can create Active Directory OU’s and groups and add the users to the groups. The connector supports SSL as well as non SSL communications

With the LDAP connector we can now integrate LDAP with other hosted or on-premise solutions such as SalesForce, RightNow, Sassu and many more.
