Mapping Users
PingOne is not set up to pass along the user's group membership during the SAML assertion. These groups can be mapped to groups within the Kasm Application.

The following steps will now map the PingOne Domain Administrators@directory group to the Administrators group in Kasm.
-
In the PingOne Admin portal, click Users -> User Groups
-
Inspect the Domain Administrators@directory group.

-
Log into the Kasm UI as an administrator.
-
Select Access Management -> Groups, then using the arrow menu click Edit next to the Administrators Group
-
Navigate to the SSO Group Mappings tab and select Add SSO Mapping.
-
Select the SAML IDP that was created above "SAML - PingOne" for the SSO Provider.
-
Enter Domain Administrators@directory into the Group Attributes field.

Testing Access
-
Log out of the Kasm UI if already logged in.
-
Navigate to the Kasm UI login page.
- Click PingOne to initiate the SAML SSO process.
