# Ping

This page provides information on how to configure Cloud CMS Single Sign On (SSO) for Ping Identity's PingOne Single Sign-on with SAML 2.0.

Cloud CMS provides Single Sign On (SSO) Enterprise support for a variety of Identity Providers using SAML 2.0 and/or JWT. For more information, see [Cloud CMS Single Sign On (SSO)](/documentation/gitana/4.0/engine/sso/overview.md).

You can learn more about Ping Identity and PingOne here:

```
https://www.pingidentity.com/en/cloud/pingone-enterprise.html
```

## Set up PingOne

In this section, we'll set up Single Sign On with Ping Identity's PingOne SSO product.

### Log into the PingOne Administration Portal

```
Login at https://admin.pingone.com/web-portal/dashboard#
```

and click **APPLICATIONS**

### Create an Application

Create a new Application for Cloud CMS

Under "My Applications": click the **Add Application** button and select "New SAML Application"

You will see a form like this:

![ping4.png](/documentation/gitana/4.0/engine/sso/ping/ping4.png)

Enter an "Application Name" such as **Cloud CMS**, an "Application Description" and a "Category".

Click **Continue to Next Step**

You will see the following form:

![ping5.png](/documentation/gitana/4.0/engine/sso/ping/ping5.png)

For "Assertion Consumer Service (ACS)" enter the Cloud CMS Assertion Consumer Service URL: https://{your-cloudcms-domain}.cloudcms.net/saml

Enter **cloudcms** for "Entity ID". Remember this value as it is required in the Cloud CMS SSO configuration in a future step. This value is only an example. It can be any name you like.

For "Application URL" enter the Cloud CMS Assertion Consumer Service URL: https://{your-cloudcms-domain}.cloudcms.net

Click **Continue to Next Step** two more times and click **Finish**

From the settings of the new "Application", copy the URL value under **Initiate Single Sign-On (SSO) URL**. You will need this URL in the **Set up Cloud CMS** step below.

## Set up Cloud CMS

In a new browser window, log into the Cloud CMS user interface. Click on `Manage Platform` and then pick `SSO` on the left-hand menu.

Select `SAML 2.0` from the radio button list.

And then fill out the form.

![cloudcms1.png](/documentation/gitana/4.0/engine/sso/ping/cloudcms1.png)

The following is required:

1.  The `SAML SSO URL` should be the **Initiate Single Sign-On (SSO) URL** value from your PingOne "Application" you created above.
    
2.  The `SAML Issuer` should match your PingOne Application's **Audience URI**
    

Save your changes and log out.

## Verify it works

You can now verify that Cloud CMS is configured to use SAML 2.0:

- Log out of your current Cloud CMS account
- Log back in
- While Logging in again, you will be re-directed to PingOne
- Log into PingOne with your username and password.
- If the credentials match, you will be redirected back to Cloud CMS.
- Cloud CMS will automatically log you in and create your user if it doesn't yet exist.
