SaaS provider customer SSO

More than 100 on-demand application (SaaS) service providers already incorporate PingFederate into their product offerings. These companies use PingFederate in three different ways. First, they provide standards-based Internet SSO to their customers. These connections can be SAML 2, SAML 1.x or WS-Federation based.

SaaS and BPO providers use PingFederate both to establish SAML-based Internet SSO connections with their customers and to create services mashups.

Second, they use PingFederateʼs Express Provisioning capability to automatically create user accounts in their user store.

Third, they use PingFederate to “mash up” or enable SSO across services from other service providers that they re-market to their customers (see SSO for Business Partners). These mashups can be either browser- or Web Services-based.
