# Connecting PingFederate 10.1 or earlier

## About this task

In PingOne, create a set of credentials for PingFederate. For PingFederate 10.1 and earlier, you must enter these credentials in each PingFederate component that communicates with PingOne.

## Steps

1. On the PingOne administrative console, go to **Applications > Applications** and click the **[icon: plus, set=fa]**icon.

2. On the **Add Application** window, enter a unique **Application Name**.

3. In the **Application Type** list, select **Worker**, then **Save**.

4. On the **Roles** tab, click **Grant Roles**, then select the **Identity Data Administrator** checkbox for the environment.

5. On the **Overview** or **Configuration** tab, note the **Client ID**, **Client Secret**, and **Environment ID**.

   You'll use these credentials in [Configuring an adapter instance](pf_p1_credentials_ik_configuring_an_adapter_instance.html).

6. Click the toggle at the top of the application to activate it.
