Delivers Salesforce SSO from virtually anywhere

Furthermore, Ping SSO works whether your users are logged into your corporate network from their desks or working remotely.

Eliminates "zombie" accounts

When employees leave the company, PingFederate and PingConnect will both automatically disable their accounts in seconds, ensuring that valuable data doesn’t go out the door with them.

By integrating PingConnect with Salesforce, Ping Identity gives organizations a universal Software as a Service login that ties together different SaaS environments by managing user access and authentication in the cloud. Users can login to their Salesforce domain, then directly access other SaaS applications by simply clicking a link. No further authentication is required, minimizing login failures and password resets. This gives companies who are using Salesforce the option of managing all of their SaaS user accounts via the Salesforce domain – an alternative to site-based corporate directories such as Active Directory or LDAP.
