# Configuring an adapter instance

Configure the Magic Link IdP Adapter to enable PingFederate to use notification publishers to send one-time links to users during sign on.

## Before you begin

Deploy the Magic Link Integration Kit files to your PingFederate directory.

## Steps

1. In the PingFederate administrative console, go to **Authentication > Integration > IdP Adapters** and click **Create New Instance**.

2. On the **Type** tab, set the basic adapter instance attributes:

   1. In the **Instance Name** field, enter a name for the adapter instance.

   2. In the **Instance ID** field, enter a unique identifier for the adapter instance.

   3. In the **Type** list, select **Magic Link IdP Adapter**. Click **Next**.

3. On the **IdP Adapter** tab, configure the adapter instance by referring to [Magic Link IdP Adapter settings reference](pf_magic_link_ik_magic_link_idp_adapter_settings_reference.html). Click **Next**.

4. On the **Actions** tab, test your connection to the database. Resolve any issues that are reported, and then click **Next**.

5. On the **Extended Contract** tab, add any attributes that you expect to retrieve in addition to the core contract attributes. Click **Next**.

6. Complete the adapter configuration.

7. On the **Summary** tab, review your configuration. Click **Save**.

## Next steps

Modify your PingFederate authentication policy to include your Magic Link IdP Adapter instance. Configure the Magic Link IdP Adapter as one of several multi-factor authentication (MFA) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>An electronic authentication method where a user is granted access only after presenting two or more verification factors for authentication.\</p>
\</div>)* steps.
