## Steps

1. To allow PingFederate to check user credentials against the datastore that you created in [Enabling provisioning and single sign-on in PingFederate](../enabling_provisioning_and_single_sign-on_in_pingfederate/pf_contentful_integration_enabling_provisioning_and_single_sign_on_in_pf.html), create a password credential validator. Learn more in [Password Credential Validators](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/help_passwordcredentialvalidatortasklet_passwordcredentialvalidatormgmtstate.html) and [Configuring the LDAP Username Password Credential Validator](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/pf_configure_ldap_username_pcv.html) in the PingFederate documentation.
