| Configuration Directory | Configuration settings are stored here. If using Mutual SSL, put certificates in this directory. For more information, see [Defining the Authenticator configuration directory](pf_atlassian_ik_defining_the_authenticator_configuration_directory.html).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| Pickup URL              | `https://pf_host:pf_port/ext/ref/pickup`When configuring a pickup URL:- Always use HTTPS over HTTP

- Enable the Require SSL/TLS option within the PingFederate SP Reference ID adapter configuration

- If using Mutual SSL Authentication, `pf_port` in the Pickup URL must match the port specified in the PingFederate `run.properties` for the `pf.secondary.https.port` (Step 1 of [Configuring PingFederate for mutual SSL authentication](pf_atlassian_ik_configuring_pf_for_mutual_ssl_authn.html)) |
| SP Adapter Instance ID  | The Instance ID of your PingFederate SP Reference ID adapter.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
| Authentication          | Determines the type of authentication to be performed between the Authenticator and the Reference ID adapter.**Mutual SSL**: You should use this option as it provides the highest level of security. For more information, see [Mutual SSL authentication](pf_atlassian_ik_mutual_ssl_authentication.html)**Basic**: Uses a username and passphrase to authenticate with PingFederate .
