    • select Code for RESPONSE TYPE
    • select Authorization Code
    • check Client Credentials under GRANT TYPE
    • choose Client Secret Post under TOKEN ENDPOINT AUTHENTICATION METHOD Remember to copy the CLIENT ID and CLIENT SECRET from here, then click Save.

  10. Please submit your SSO configuration details via this form

    • The form contains fields for your Client ID, Client Secret, Application environment ID, PingIdentity Domain, a list of domains that should be enabled for your Ping configuration and optionally a Session timeout which if specified will determine how long a login session remains open before users are required to login again. Alternatively and additionally you can provide a list of mail addresses if you want additional accounts to be added that do not belong to the specified domain.
    • Optionally, you can also provide list of teams and user roles. Every SSO user newly signing up for GL Strings will be automatically added to these teams with the preselected role. The user role and team assignment can be later modified if needed.
    • The GL Strings team requires time to test and deploy your configuration which may take up to 2 weeks. The GL Strings team will confirm once SSO is available. If the change is urgent please let us know so we can expedite your request.
    • All signups completed prior to the SSO configuration deployment will be automatically converted upon their next login.

  11. To log in with Ping Identity or Ping Federate on the GL Strings Dashboard, enter your email address. You will then be redirected to the PingIdentity login page. If you are already logged in, you will be taken directly back to the GL Strings Dashboard.
