Registering SonarQube in PingOne or PingFederate

On this page

This page explains how to register SonarQube in PingOne. The procedure with PingFederate is similar (The properties and values to be configured are the same.). This is the first step of SAML authentication setup with Ping Identity. For an overview of the complete setup, see Setting up SAML with Ping Identity.

Step 1: Create the SonarQube SAML application

1. In PingOne, go to Applications > Applications.

2. Select the + icon.

3. Enter the application name and description.

4. In Choose Application Type, select SAML Application.

5.  Select Configure

6. Select the Manually Enter option and set:

    • ACS URL (Assertion Consumer Service): Must be in the format: <sqServerBaseUrl>/oauth2/callback/saml

              Example: https://my-sonarqube.com/oauth2/callback/saml

    • Entity ID: Identifier of the SonarQube application in PingOne
      Example: sonarqube

7. Select Save.

Step 2: Configure the application

1. Go to the Attribute mappings tab of the SonarQube application you created in step 1 (To retrieve the application, go to Applications > Applications and open the application details page.).

2. Select the pencil icon and the +Add button to add an attribute mapping: select a PingOne user attribute and map it to an attribute in the application. See the example below.

group_names

Group NamesRequired only if you use the group synchronization feature (If a matching group is found in SonarQube, the Ping user account's memberships in that group are synchronized in SonarQube.).

3. Select Save.

4. Go to the Configuration tab and select the Download Metadata button to download the SAML metadata containing your X.509 certificate.

Step 3: Enable the application

  1. In PingOne, retrieve the application: go to Applications > Applications and open the application details page.
  2. In the top right corner of the application, select the toggle button.

Step 4: Assign users and groups to the application

  1. To create users, go to Identities > Users and select + Add User.
  2. To create a group:
    • Go to Identities > Groups.
    • Select + to create and save a group.
    • On the page of the new group, open the Users tab, and add users to the group.
