Windows Azure ACS with PingIdentity STS

Question

This is going to be a question really for someone who has knowledge with PingIdentity and ACS, which could be pretty limited.

I've got my ACS set up, all working fine and I know how to add a custom STS (PingIdentity) but I can't find any of the PingIdentity Federation MetaData (FederationMetaData.xml) to authenticate with.

Apparently our current system's workflow is such:

Us -> Our PingIdentity server -> Supplier -> Supplier's PingIdentity server -> Route token back to us.

Would I have to use our local PingIdentity Federation MetaData as the STS in order to achieve what I'm looking for (same scenario, but with ACS)? And where can I find this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

This document may help:

AD FS 2.0 Step-by-Step Guide: Federation with Ping Identity PingFederate

albeit that it's ADFS rather than ACS (although the principles are similar).

Page 12 shows you need access to the PingFederate administrative console. Do you have that?

Answer 2

Are you trying to achieve Active or Passive Requester Profile with PingFed and ACS? Just trying to clarify which type of meta-data you're looking for.
