PingOne

The integration process between PingOne, a global authentication authority, and LogScale enables secure user access through SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect standards. Step-by-step instructions detail the configuration of SP connections, browser SSO settings, attribute contracts, and metadata file generation within PingOne for successful LogScale integration.

PingOne serves as a global authentication authority that allows any user to access securely LogScale. It integrates with identity standards like SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. See the Ping Identity Documentation for more information on PingOne.

Now you are ready to configure LogScale, using the metadata information and certificate you just exported.

Configure LogScale to use PingOne

When PingOne is configured to work with LogScale, you must configure LogScale to work with PingOne.

To configure PingOne to work with LogScale, you must set the configuration variables as described in Configure SAML for LogScale Self-Hosted.

Test the PingOne integration setup

Once all of the necessary steps to set up the PingOne authentication for LogScale are completed, you need to test the setup.

  1. Go to a Terminal and start LogScale with the following command:

    shell
    ./run.sh

    Allow two to three minutes for LogScale to start.

  2. Connect to localhost in a browser. It should redirect you to a PingOne login.

  3. Sign in to your PingOne. You should be taken to LogScale.
