SSO with PingFederate vs REST call

Hi Devs,

I have a working SSO configuration using PingFederate - I can log in with the user from my IdP.

The problem I have is the REST API call using AppKey. I created appKey and assigned it to the user. When I try to call service using REST, as a response I get the HTML page from PingFederate with a HTML form and Base64 encoded SAML request as an input in that form.

What I expected was the regular REST call bypassing the SSO.

Is there a possibility to overcome SSO when calling REST?

    There is a support article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article?n=CS279189 describing steps needed.

     

    But basicaly You need to modify sso-settings.json:

     

    {
        "BasicSettings": {
            ...
        },
        "ApplicationKeySettings": {
            "enabled": true
        },
    ...
    }

     to have  ApplicationKeySettings.enabled=true
