# Exporting your PingFederate signing certificate

To allow Contentful to trust communications from PingFederate, you need to provide the signing certificate that you'll use in your connection.

## Steps

1. In the PingFederate administrative console, go to **Security > Signing & Decryption Keys & Certificates**.

2. If you don't have a signing certificate, create one.

   1. Click **Create New**.

   2. On the **Create Certificate** tab, enter the certificate details. Click **Next**.

      Learn more in the **Creating new certificates** section of [Managing digital signing certificates and decryption keys](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/help_certmanagementtasklet_dsigsigningcert_certmanagementstate.html) in the PingFederate documentation.

   3. On the **Summary** tab, click **Save**.

3. In the **Action** column for the certificate that you want to use for your connection, click **Export**.

4. On the **Export Certificate** tab, select **Certificate only**. Click **Next**.

5. On the **Export & Summary** tab, click **Export**.

6. Save the `.crt` file.

   You'll use the contents of this file in [Configuring single sign-on in Contentful](pf_contentful_integration_configuring_single_sign_on_in_contentful.html).

7. Click **Done**.
