This article reviews the process to configure Zilla Security as a Service Provider for Ping Identity. This will be used as a means to make it simple for reviewers to login and perform their access reviews during a campaign.

 Instructions

To configure this, perform the following steps

  1. Create a new Application inside of Ping called Zilla Security:

  1. Add an Application Name and select SAML Application as the application type:

  1. We will want to manually enter our configuration, and will be asked for the Zilla ACS URL and Entity ID:

  1. To get this, Navigate to Zilla, go to Settings, and select Configure for Single Sign-On Provider:

  1. Select the SAML Option, then hit Configure:

  1. Copy the ACS URL and Entity ID, then paste it into the entries inside of Ping:

  1. Copy the Initiate Single Sign-On URL in Ping to the IDP SSO URL in Zilla:

  1. Next, navigate to Configuration and copy the Issuer ID in Ping to the IDP Entity ID in Zilla:

  1. In configuration, Download the x509 Signing Certificate:

  1. Open the certificate using a code editor, and Copy the Content Between BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE Into The IDP x.509 Certificate Config Tab in Zilla

  1. Turn on the Application inside of Ping before we validate the connection in Zilla:

  1. Select Validate inside Zilla. This will prompt you to login with a ping account to verify that the connection was successful.

  2. Party 🎉🎉🎉
