Ping SDKs

Create an authentication journey

Applies to:

  • Ping SDK for Android

  • Ping SDK for iOS

  • Ping SDK for JavaScript

Authentication journeys provide fine-grained authentication by allowing multiple paths and decision points throughout the flow. Authentication journeys are made up of nodes that define actions taken during authentication.

Each node performs a single task, such as collecting a username or making a simple decision. Nodes can have multiple outcomes rather than just success or failure. For details, see the Authentication nodes configuration reference in the PingAM documentation.

To create a simple journey for use when testing the Ping SDKs, follow these steps:

  1. In your PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud tenant, navigate to Journeys, and click New Journey.

  2. Enter a name, such as sdkUsernamePasswordJourney and click Save.

    The authentication journey designer appears.

  3. Drag the following nodes into the designer area:

    • Page Node

    • Platform Username

    • Platform Password

    • Data Store Decision

  4. Drag and drop the Platform Username and Platform Password nodes onto the Page Node, so that they both appear on the same page when logging in.

  5. Connect the nodes as follows:

  6. Click Save.
