Customers Can Configure PingFederate as a Federation Provider
with Microsoft Azure Active Directory
Provides Easier Federation Between Azure Active Directory and
On-Premises Active Directory
Ping Identity, the leader in Identity Defined Security, today
announced the public preview of the integration between its single
sign-on (SSO) solution with Microsoft’s Azure Active Directory
Connect. In a world where enterprises are transitioning to the
cloud, IT teams are being stretched across on-premises and cloud
infrastructure. Having this integrated solution available to
customers today means that global organizations have more options
to support their need for a hybrid IT model.
PingFederate, integrated with Azure AD and Office 365, provides
customers with a modern identity and access management solution
designed to meet complex enterprise demands. By connecting silos of
identities and applications inside the enterprise and across
partner organizations, PingFederate along with Azure AD enables SSO
and identity federation. The solution can be deployed on-premises
or in a private cloud, with many customers using PingFederate
within Azure to secure applications throughout their
infrastructure.
“Now, customers can easily federate legacy identity systems and
data stores with Microsoft cloud services, such as Azure AD and
Office 365, with greater flexibility in a fraction of the time,”
said Loren Russon, vice president, product management, Ping
Identity. “One of the great benefits of leveraging the integration
between Ping Identity and Microsoft is the ability for customers to
more easily manage their transition to identity services in the
cloud, while also maintaining a hybrid IT environment for their
other cloud applications and services.”
Cybersecurity firm Coalfire helps public and private sector
organizations avert threats, reduce risk and turn security into a
competitive advantage. Using PingFederate, the organization has
implemented advanced authentication scenarios for a range of
mission-critical applications, including Box and Office 365.
"Coalfire employees now have secure and convenient access to
critical tools like Office 365, allowing them to do their jobs more
easily with seamless access to the apps they need, when they need
them on any of their devices—all while strengthening security to
meet the stringent requirements for the organization,” commented
Robert L. Flores, CIO, Coalfire.
“Azure Active Directory and Office 365 are among the fastest
growing enterprise services in Microsoft history,” added Alex
Simons, director of program management, Microsoft Identity
Division. “We have hundreds of enterprise customers using
PingFederate to provide SSO to Azure AD and Office 365. It’s used
by so many enterprise customers that Ping Identity accounts for 30
percent more unique users than the next closest third-party option.
By adding PingFederate configuration capabilities directly into
Azure AD Connect, we’ve made it even easier for these kinds of
large organizations to quickly get up and running with the
Microsoft cloud.”
This announcement reinforces the long-standing relationship
between Ping Identity and Microsoft. Starting initially with
PingAccess for Azure Active Directory, today PingFederate is one of
the preferred third party bridges to Azure AD. For more
