Ping Identity SAML2 SSO with Flexopus

What is the Ping Identity SAML2 integration?

The Ping Identity SAML2 integration connects Flexopus to your existing Ping Identity environment via the SAML2 (Security Assertion Markup Language) protocol. SAML2 is a widely used open standard for the secure exchange of authentication data between an Identity Provider (IdP) – in this case Ping Identity – and an application such as Flexopus.

During registration, Ping Identity verifies the user's identity and securely transmits the relevant user information – such as email address, name and department – to Flexopus. Additionally, optional user management can be set up via the SCIM 2.0 protocol to automatically synchronize users and groups between Ping Identity and Flexopus.

What is the purpose of integration?

The integration allows companies to centrally control access to Flexopus via Ping Identity. Administrators can define directly in Ping Identity which users or groups should have access to Flexopus – without manual maintenance in Flexopus.

Typical use cases for integration:

• Employees log in to Flexopus using their existing company login details – no separate account is necessary.
• New user profiles in Flexopus are automatically created upon the first successful SSO login, without manual creation by administrators.
• User attributes such as name, email address, department and job title are taken directly from Ping Identity and kept up to date in Flexopus.
• Optional: SCIM 2.0 allows users and groups to be automatically provisioned and deprovisioned, ensuring that access always reflects the current status in Ping Identity.

How easy is the integration?

Setting up the Ping Identity SAML2 integration takes place in just a few steps and requires no in-depth technical knowledge. In the Ping Identity Admin console, Flexopus is created as a SAML2 application and linked to the Flexopus metadata URL. The user attributes are then mapped and the connection is activated in the Flexopus settings.

What are the advantages of integration?

• Central access management: User rights are managed exclusively in Ping Identity – no duplicate maintenance in Flexopus is necessary.
• Automatic user creation: New employees automatically receive a Flexopus profile upon their first SSO login – without any manual effort for administrators.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA) support: The security policies from Ping Identity, including MFA, automatically apply to Flexopus login.
• Fewer passwords, more security: Employees use their familiar company login credentials – no separate Flexopus password is required.
• Data minimization: Only the necessary user attributes are transferred – no excessive data exchange.
• Optional SCIM provisioning: In addition to SSO login, users and groups can be automatically synchronized to further reduce administrative overhead.
• Included free of charge: SAML2 SSO integration is included in Flexopus at no extra cost.
