# Token generator (SP) processing overview

The following figure illustrates how PingFederate and the Coreblox Token Generator interact with the Coreblox Token Service (CTS):

## Processing Steps

1. The Web Service Provider (WSP) accepts an incoming SAML assertion.

2. The WSP sends a Request Security Token (RST) message to the PingFederate WS-Trust Security Token Service (STS).

3. The Token Generator parses the attributes in the SAML assertion and queries the CTS for a valid token.

4. The CoreBlox session token and mapped SAML attributes are embedded in a Request Security Token Response (RSTR) that's sent back to the WSP.
