   | `Alternate Domain`             | If the users belong to a domain that is not reflected in the login information provided, you can use this field to specify the relevant domain.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |

5. After you have configured all relevant attributes, click **Save and Restart AD FS**.

   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | Modifying advanced settings requires you to restart the AD FS service. This might affect users that are using this instance of AD FS. |

## Result

Windows applies the configuration changes after restarting the AD FS service.

## Next steps

To apply a PingID authentication policy to your AD FS integration, see [Configuring an app or group-specific authentication policy](../pingid_service_management/pid_configuring_app_group_authentication_policy.html)). The AD FS app should appear in the PingID Policy app list.
