# SSO with PingID and PingOne

If you're using PingOne for single sign-on (SSO) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>The process of authenticating an identity (signing on) at one website (usually with a user ID and password) and then accessing resources secured by other domains without reauthenticating.\</p>
\</div>)*, adding PingID as your secondary authentication solution is a simple process of creating an authentication policy and assigning PingID as the authenticating entity.

For more information about creating an authentication policy, see [Creating or updating an authentication policy](../pingid_integrations/pid_creating_updating_authentication_policy.html).

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