PingCentral
Tour the Product
This means providing multiple instances of identity and access management services across this lifecycle.
Each of the Ping capabilities has a native admin user interface, so you have granular control in each environment.
But when you're rolling out a global authentication authority, you need big picture controls across the entire Ping Intelligent Identity Platform.
That's where PingCentral comes in.
Let's start with central monitoring.
It's a unified converged operating portal, that complements native admin UIs, and lets you see everything Ping in one place.
Self-service app integration gives IAM admins a way to distribute the administrative load, across different levels of staff using PingCentral templates, and a step-by-step workflow to onboard new apps, and APIs.
Business users who don't have IAM expertise, can add and manage their own clients and connections.
Next up is orchestration automation.
Instances of Ping software across all environment tiers can be connected and managed within the PingCentral orchestration engine.
This automates promotions among environments, maintaining configuration without rekeying information.
Across its lifecycle, a single application will have many configuration changes, promotions, and secrets or certificates.
PingCentral provides a historical audit trail.
So you always know who has done what to a connection or a client, and you can revert back if needed.
PingCentral streamlines the process of onboarding applications, which makes it easy to delegate administration to app teams, to consume centralized identity services.
Think of it like a multiplier for your resource constrained IAM team to do more with less, and power business application teams with speed and agility, and unleash your digital transformation journey.
Modern centralized identity and access management is a valuable business driver for your enterprise.
PingCentral builds confidence in relying on central IAM services, and results in more significant coverage and adoption.

Meet PingCentral
PingCentral is an operating portal that enables self-service, centralized management of application resources in PingFederate and PingAccess. It allows resource-constrained IAM teams to do more with less by enabling application owners to integrate apps and APIs, as well as consume centralized identity services, without developers. PingCentral automates promotions across environments and gives administrators visibility into clients, connections, and audit trails.
Empower application owners with a self-service way to onboard their own apps related to IAM services—ultimately reducing shadow IT and enabling rapid digital transformation.
How It Works
Administrators set up application owners as users and define PingFederate and PingAccess development, test, and production environments in PingCentral. The admin locates clients, connections, and application security configurations worthy of replicating, and pulls them into PingCentral for the application owners. After set-up, application owners can manage their assigned applications and use the provided templates to apply OAuth, OIDC, SAML SP, and PingAccess security configurations to them. A wizard guides users through the process of providing a name and description for each application they create, as well as environment-specific information that makes it possible to run the application on the target environment.
With PingCentral you can:
Lower operational costs by preventing shadow IT
Minimize the risk of inconsistent or vulnerable policy with standardized templates
Accelerate the rate at which new apps and APIs can securely get to market
Empower Application Owners with Self-Service App Integration
PingCentral gives IAM administrators a flexible interface to build a set of authentication and single sign-on templates so that application owners can confidently select from these standard templates to streamline integration. The simple, step-by-step wizard guides app owners who don’t have IAM expertise to onboard a new app or API, update certificates for SAML connections, rotate client secrets, and other self-service IAM tasks.
Automate Promotions Across Environments
Configuration changes don’t just need to be made in one environment—they often need to be propagated across an entire application development and deployment pipeline. PingCentral automates promotions across application environments. This means when you promote a client or connection from dev to staging, you don’t have to rekey in the new environment—the configuration carries over automatically.
Visibility into All Apps and Environments
PingCentral provides a snapshot of all OAuth and OIDC clients and SAML connections across every environment on a single screen. This streamlined view allows IAM admins to assign and update resource ownership across the entire SSO infrastructure without switching between instances of Ping software or authentication screens, which accelerates implementation. When a delegated administrator signs on, they see and manage only the applications they’ve added or that they’ve been assigned.
Know Who Promoted What and When
PingCentral provides an audit trail that enables client and connection lifecycle management across environments (e.g. development, staging, production, etc.). It tracks and displays a history of the previous client and connection configurations throughout the application and API lifecycle, so you always know who’s done what. PingCentral also gives you the flexibility to revert back to previous versions as needed.
