Apache Linux Integration Kit

Apache Linux Integration Kit

The Apache Linux Integration Kit allows PingFederate to coordinate user authentication and single sign-on (SSO) between an Apache web application and an identity provider (IdP).

For new integrations, try the Agentless Integration Kit. It can integrate with a variety of platforms using a modern RESTful approach, and it doesn’t require you to integrate agent software into your application.

Components

OpenToken Adapter

Installed in PingFederate, this adapter uses the secure OpenToken standard to pass user attributes and session information from PingFederate to the Apache agent on the Apache server.

Apache agent

Installed on the server running Apache, this program watches for protected resource requests and determines whether to grant access or redirect the user to PingFederate for authentication with an IdP.
