Integrating PingOne Data in Talend Cloud Data Management Platform

Qlik's Talend Cloud Data Management Platform supports various data environments, enabling analytics for smarter decisions, operational data sharing, data and application modernization, and establishing data excellence for risk reduction. When paired with the CData JDBC Driver for PingOne, you can improve data integration, quality, and governance for your PingOne Data. This article shows how you can easily integrate to PingOne using a CData JDBC Driver in Talend Cloud Data Management, and then view the data for simultaneous use in your workflow.

Prerequisites

Before connecting the CData JDBC Driver to view and work with your data in Talend Cloud Data Management Platform, make sure to download and install the latest version of Talend Studio on your system. Also, ensure that you have the required prerequisites.

1. A Talend Cloud Data Management account with appropriate permissions.
2. The CData JDBC Driver for PingOne, which can be downloaded from the CData website.

Connect to PingOne in Talend as a JDBC data source

Access Talend Data Management Cloud

1. Run the Talend Cloud Data Management Platform installed on your local system and click on Other Login Mode. 👁 Log into Talend Cloud Data Management Platform locally
   
2. Click on Manage Connections. Set Repository to "Local" and enter the Name, Description and User E-mail in the respective spaces. Set the Workspace path and click on OK. 👁 Manage a connection.
   👁 Create a connection in Talend Data Management Cloud
   
3. Now, select the Create a new project radio button to add a new project name and click on Create. 👁 Create a new project.
   
4. The new project should appear under the Select an existing project section. Click on Open. The Talend Cloud Data Management Platform workspace opens up. 👁 Open the Talend Cloud Data Management Platform workspace.
   

Create a new connection

1. In the navigation pane, locate and expand the Metadata dropdown. Right-click on Db Connections and select Create Connection. 👁 Create a new connection in the Talend platform under Db connections.
   
2. Search for and select 'JDBC' in the Find section of the Database Connection window. Then, click on Finish. 👁 Search and select the JDBC connector.
   
3. Enter the Name, Purpose and Description of the new database in Talend where you need to load the PingOne data. Click on Next. 👁 Enter details of the database toload the source data.
   
4. Generate a JDBC URL for connecting to PingOne, beginning with jdbc:pingone: followed by a series of semicolon-separated connection string properties.

   To connect to PingOne, configure these properties:

   • : The region where the data for your PingOne organization is being hosted.
   • : The type of authentication to use when connecting to PingOne.
   • Either (required when using the default PingOne domain) or , configured as described below.

   Configuring WorkerAppEnvironmentId

   is the ID of the PingOne environment in which your Worker application resides. This parameter is used only when the environment is using the default PingOne domain (auth.pingone). It is configured after you have created the custom OAuth application you will use to authenticate to PingOne, as described in Creating a Custom OAuth Application in the Help documentation.

   First, find the value for this property:

   1. From the home page of your PingOne organization, move to the navigation sidebar and click Environments.
   2. Find the environment in which you have created your custom OAuth/Worker application (usually Administrators), and click Manage Environment. The environment's home page displays.
   3. In the environment's home page navigation sidebar, click Applications.
   4. Find your OAuth or Worker application details in the list.
   5. Copy the value in the Environment ID field. It should look similar to:
      

      WorkerAppEnvironmentId='11e96fc7-aa4d-4a60-8196-9acf91424eca'

   Now set to the value of the Environment ID field.

   Configuring AuthorizationServerURL

   is the base URL of the PingOne authorization server for the environment where your application is located. This property is only used when you have set up a custom domain for the environment, as described in the PingOne platform API documentation. See Custom Domains.

   Authenticating to PingOne with OAuth

   PingOne supports both OAuth and OAuthClient authentication. In addition to performing the configuration steps described above, there are two more steps to complete to support OAuth or OAuthCliet authentication:

   • Create and configure a custom OAuth application, as described in Creating a Custom OAuth Application in the Help documentation.
   • To ensure that the driver can access the entities in Data Model, confirm that you have configured the correct roles for the admin user/worker application you will be using, as described in Administrator Roles in the Help documentation.
   • Set the appropriate properties for the authscheme and authflow of your choice, as described in the following subsections.

   OAuth (Authorization Code grant)

   Set to OAuth.

   Desktop Applications

   Get and Refresh the OAuth Access Token

   After setting the following, you are ready to connect:

   • : GETANDREFRESH. To avoid the need to repeat the OAuth exchange and manually setting the each time you connect, use .
   • : The Client ID you obtained when you created your custom OAuth application.
   • : The Client Secret you obtained when you created your custom OAuth application.
   • : The redirect URI you defined when you registered your custom OAuth application. For example: https://localhost:3333

   When you connect, the driver opens PingOne's OAuth endpoint in your default browser. Log in and grant permissions to the application. The driver then completes the OAuth process:

   1. The driver obtains an access token from PingOne and uses it to request data.
   2. The OAuth values are saved in the location specified in , to be persisted across connections.

   The driver refreshes the access token automatically when it expires.

   For other OAuth methods, including Web Applications, Headless Machines, or Client Credentials Grant, refer to the Help documentation.

   Built-in Connection String Designer

   For assistance in constructing the JDBC URL, use the connection string designer built into the PingOne JDBC Driver. Either double-click the JAR file or execute the jar file from the command-line.

   java -jar cdata.jdbc.pingone.jar
   

   Fill in the connection properties and copy the connection string to the clipboard.

   👁 Using the built-in connection string designer to generate a JDBC URL (Salesforce is shown.)
   

   A typical JDBC URL is below:

   jdbc:pingone:AuthScheme=OAuth;WorkerAppEnvironmentId=eebc33a8-xxxx-4f3a-yyyy-d3e5262fd49e;Region=NA;OAuthClientId=client_id;OAuthClientSecret=client_secret;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;
   

5. Enter the JDBC URL copied from CData JDBC Driver for PingOne in Edit new database. 👁 Enter the JDBC URL (Salesforce is shown).
   

6. Click on the "(+) Add" button under Drivers. A 'newLine' will appear in the Drivers board. Click on (...) at the end of the new line, select the Install a new module radio button, and click on (...) to add the path to the JAR file, located in the 'lib' subfolder of the installation directory. Click on OK. 👁 Add a new line in Drivers board to add the path to the PingOne JAR file (Salesforce is shown).
   👁 The lib folder which contains the PingOne JAR file (Salesforce is shown).
   👁 Add the JAR installation path in 'Install a new module' (Salesforce is shown).
   
7. Select the Driver Class as cdata.jdbc.pingone (JAR file obtained from your installation directory given in the previous step). 👁 Add the Driver class.
   

Test the new connection

1. Click on Check Connection. If the entered details are correct, a "Connection successful" confirmation prompt will appear. Click on "OK" and "Finish". 👁 Check the connection.
   
2. Once the connection is established, right-click on the newly created connection and select Retrieve Schema. You can use the filters as well to retrieve the data as per your requirements. Click on Next. 👁 Retrieve schema from the datasource.
   👁 Add the necessary filters.
   
3. Expand the "CData" catalog in the Schema window and select the tables you want to import from the PingOne schema. Click on Next. 👁 Select a table from the PingOne schema.
   
4. In the next step, select the columns you want to view from the table and click on Finish. 👁 Select the necessary columns from the selected table.
   
5. All the selected tables from the PingOne schema are now populated under the Table Schemas section of the JDBC connection.
6. Right-click on any of the selected tables and click on Data Viewer to preview the data from the data source. 👁 Click on Data Viewer to view the source data.
   👁 Display the source table view.
