PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud Deep Dive: Access Management (AIC-410)

Training Credits accepted

The aim of this course is to showcase the key features and capabilities of the versatile and powerful access management solution in a PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud (Advanced Identity Cloud) environment, formerly known as ForgeRock® Identity Cloud. It provides the student with the knowledge and confidence to manage their own environment. It is accepted that this course is not able to demonstrate all the features and capabilities of the access management component of Advanced Identity Cloud. Further information and guidance can be found in the documentation and knowledge base in the online repositories at: Backstage https://backstage.forgerock.com.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Start with an unprotected website and end up with a fully functional access management solution where every user trying to access the website is redirected to Advanced Identity Cloud for authentication
  • Improve access management security in Advanced Identity Cloud with multi-factor authentication (MFA), context-based risk analysis, and continuous risk checking
  • Implement OAuth 2.0 (OAuth2) based protocols; namely, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect 1.0 (OIDC), to enable low-level devices and mobile applications to make requests that access resources belonging to a subscriber.
  • Demonstrate federation across entities using SAML2 with Advanced Identity Cloud

Chapter 2: Improving Access Management Security

Improve access management security in ForgeRock® Identity Cloud (Identity Cloud) with multi-factor authentication (MFA), context-based risk analysis, and continuous risk checking.

  • Examine HOTP authentication using email or SMS
  • (Optional) Implement HOTP authentication using email or SMS

Lesson 2: Modifying a User’s Journey Based on Context

Describe how Identity Cloud can take into account the context of an authentication request in order to take access decisions:

  • Introduce context-based risk analysis
  • Describe device profile nodes
  • Determine the risk based on the context
  • Implement a browser context change script
  • Lock and unlock accounts

  • Introduce continuous contextual authorization
  • Describe step-up authentication
  • Implement step-up authentication flow
  • Describe transactional authorization
  • Implement transactional authorization
  • Prevent users from bypassing the default journey


Chapter 3: Extending Services Using OAuth2-Based Protocols

Implement OAuth 2.0 (OAuth2) based protocols; namely, OAuth2 and OpenID Connect 1.0 (OIDC), to enable low-level devices and mobile applications to make requests that access resources belonging to a subscriber. ForgeRock® Identity Cloud (Identity Cloud) is also configured to function as an OIDC client and delegate authentication to social media OIDC providers.
