Hands-on Labs
- Hands-on lab on SAML federation — register a sample service provider in PingFederate, exchange metadata, map attributes and debug a deliberately broken assertion
- Hands-on lab on OAuth and OIDC — build an authorization code flow with PKCE, issue and introspect a token, then tighten scopes and watch the client fail
- Hands-on lab on PingID MFA — enrol devices, enforce step-up for a sensitive app and test the remembered-device window against your own policy
- Hands-on lab on passwordless — register a FIDO2 passkey, sign in without a password and design the recovery path for a lost authenticator
- Hands-on lab on DaVinci — build a customer registration journey with progressive profiling and a social login branch, then walk the whole flow through
- Hands-on lab on PingDirectory — set a password policy with strength rules, run a PingDataSync job and verify the result with a directory search

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ping Identity used for?
Ping Identity provides workforce and customer identity management. PingFederate handles federation and single sign-on, PingOne runs identity as a cloud service, and PingID delivers multi-factor and passwordless authentication.
What is the difference between Ping Identity and Okta?
Both do cloud identity and SSO. Ping is stronger where you must keep PingFederate on-premises or hybrid and integrate with existing directories; Okta is simpler to start with as pure SaaS.
Is ping identity training good for my career in India?
IAM engineers with federation depth are hired in banking, insurance and large IT services, and Ping sits in many enterprise estates. It pairs well with a broader IAM course plus Saviynt or SailPoint for governance.
How hard is SAML to learn?
The concepts are manageable in a week; the debugging takes longer. Most federation labs here are deliberately broken setups you have to repair, which is how interviewers test whether you understand the flow.
Which Ping Identity certification should I take?
Start with Ping Identity Certified Professional, which validates the platform, federation, MFA and PingOne skills. Move to the specialist exams once you have production PingFederate experience.
Do I need to know Active Directory for this course?
Some. Ping typically federates to AD or LDAP for authentication, so understanding users, groups and password policies helps. The course reviews AD concepts in week one before federation work starts.
