# Integrating through PingFederate

Integrate PingID with Windows login through PingFederate authentication authority to streamline your user's authentication experience by leveraging PingFederate's cross-organization authentication policies.

Possible use cases include:

* User name mapping from Windows login. For example, map the sAMAccountName to the User Principal Name (UPN) in your LDAP directory to align the user to a single PingID user identity.

* Creating group-based policies in either PingFederate or PingID.

* Integrating PingFederate orchestrated on-premise or third-party authentication methods into the authentication flow.

The following diagram illustrates the authentication flow when integrating PingID with Windows login through PingFederate.
