# Microsoft Login Integration Kit

The Microsoft Login Integration Kit allows PingFederate to use Microsoft as an identity provider (IdP). This allows users to access service provider (SP) applications by signing into Microsoft.

## Features

* Supports the [PingFederate authentication API](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/developers_reference_guide/pf_authentication_api.html).

* Supports the [JavaScript Widget for the PingFederate Authentication API](https://github.com/pingidentity/pf-authn-js-widget).

## Components

* Microsoft IdP Adapter

  * Allows PingFederate to communicate with the Microsoft API to process sign-on requests and get user information.

* Templates

  * Allow the adapter to prompt the user to sign on.

  * Allow you to modify the appearance of the sign-on prompt.

* Language packs

  * Allow you to customize or localize the messages returned by the PingFederate authentication API and shown on the templates during authentication. Learn more in [Localizing messages for end users](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/pf_local_message_end_users.html) in the PingFederate documentation.
