What you can do

Four things you get once Ping Identity is connected

Ping Identity handles identity. Empuls accepts the sign-in, so access follows the rules your IT team already manages.

Sign in with the credentials people already have

SAML 2.0 single sign-on
Employees sign in through Ping Identity with their organizational credentials and return to Empuls signed in.
Credentials stay in Ping Identity
Authentication happens in Ping Identity. Empuls receives the SAML response and does not need a separate password for your employees.

Flexible identity matching

Email or Employee ID
Empuls needs a unique identifier in the NameID field. Use either the Email ID or the Employee ID.
Simple attribute mapping
Map the SAML_SUBJECT attribute to the email address that matches the user's Empuls login.

Set up your way

Metadata import
Import the Empuls SP metadata into Ping Identity. This is the recommended route.
Manual entry
Prefer to configure by hand? Enter the ACS URL and Entity ID directly in the Ping Identity application.

Fits the way IT already works

Built-in connection test
After uploading the Ping Identity IdP metadata, use Test Connection in Empuls to confirm the sign-in works.
No custom code
Setup uses standard SAML metadata files exchanged between Ping Identity and Empuls.

Use cases

Who uses it, and what for

Three ways teams use Ping Identity SSO with Empuls.

Employees

One login for everyday access

Employees reach Empuls with the same Ping Identity credentials they use for other work apps. Fewer passwords to remember and reset.

IT and Security

One access path through Ping Identity

Route every Empuls sign-in through Ping Identity so access follows the policies your security team already enforces.

Identity admins

Keep access control in Ping Identity

Your identity team continues to manage authentication in Ping Identity, with Empuls added as one more SAML application.
