Solution Summary
This guide describes integrating PingFederate with RSA Cloud Authentication service using SAML and OIDC . Use this information to determine which use case and integration type your deployment will employ.
Use Case
PingFederate can be integrated with RSA using SAML. When integrated, users must authenticate with RSA to sign in to PingFederate.
Integration Types
My Page SSO provides Single-Sign-On (SSO) to PingFederate users' leveraging RSA self-service portal My Page. Both SP-initiated SSO and IdP-initiated SSO are supported.
Modern Cloud-hosted SSO with My Page replaces the existing SAML SSO support with the IDR.
Relying Party integration allows PingFederate users’ web browsers to be automatically redirected to RSA Cloud Authentication Service for authentication. With Relying Party integration, Cloud Authentication Service can manage either additional authentication only or both primary authentication (for example, user ID and password) and additional authentication depending on the service provider's capability.
Supported Features
This section shows all the supported features by integration type and by RSA components. Use this information to determine which integration type and RSA component your deployment will use. The next section in this guide contains the instruction steps for how to integrate RSA with PingFederate using each integration type.

Configuration Summary
This section contains instruction steps that show how to integrate PingFederate with RSA using all of the integration types.
This document is not intended to suggest optimum installations or configurations. It is assumed that the reader has both working knowledge of all products involved, and the ability to perform the tasks outlined in this section. Administrators should have access to the product documentation for all products to install the required components.
All RSA and PingFederate components must be installed and working prior to the integration.
This section of the guide includes links to the appropriate sections for configuring both sides for each use case.
