# PingID authentication for PingOne using PingFederate as the identity bridge

When you're using PingFederate as your PingOne identity bridge, you can use PingID for authentication on either the PingOne side or the PingFederate side.

Using PingID on the PingFederate side is useful when:

* You want to apply advanced PingFederate policy settings (for example, a custom adapter selector) to your PingID authentication.

* You want to use PingID for primary authentication.

For more information on configuring PingID for PingFederate, see [Integrate with PingID for PingFederate SSO](../pingid_integrations/pid_integrate_pf_sso.html).

For more information on configuring PingID for PingOne, see [Integrate with PingID for PingOne SSO](../pingid_integrations/pid_integrate_p1_sso.html).
