Identifier First Adapter: PingFederate

Hello IAM Experts

Today, I would like to talk about Identifier First Adapter and how it can be addressed for variety of use cases.

Identifier First Adapter is available out-of-the-box in PingFederate 9.3 version and above. This adapter uses HTML template in the back-end which can be customized as per Org needs and it captures the user identifier (could be email or userid) and it uses two attributes Subject and Domain. 

Domain is typically the user email address. Additional attributes can be added to this adapter as needed. 

Some of the use cases:

1. This adapter can be used if the organization has a requirement to display separate branded login page based on email address or user domain.  
2. This adapter can be used if you need to separate the authentication flow or trigger additional security mechanism based on userid or email address. 

HTML template also uses velocity template which can be customized with HTML/JS as per Org needs.
