# Get information from the PingID SDK

## About this task

PingFederate needs connection information and an application ID from PingOne to manage users in the PingID SDK.

## Steps

1. Sign on to the PingOne administrator console.

2. Export the configuration file for the PingID SDK:

   1. On the **Setup > PingID > Client Integration** screen, under **Integrate with PingID SDK**, click **Download**.

   2. Save the `pingidsdk.properties` file to a temporary location.

3. Get the application ID that PingOne assigned to PingFederate.

   1. Create an application to represent PingFederate in PingOne by completing the [Configuring a new PingID SDK app](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingid/pingid_sdk/pid_sdk_config_new_app.html) procedure in the PingID *Administration Guide*.

      |   | Under **Alternate Authentication Methods**, enable authentication methods to make the associated attributes available to the provisioning connector. |

   2. On the **Applications > PingID SDK Applications** screen, note the **Application ID** for the application that you created.
