2. Configure the SP connection with the PingOne quick connection template:

   1. On the **Connection Template** tab, select **Use a template for this connection**.

   2. In the **Connection Template** list, select **PingOne Connector**, then click **Next**.

   3. On the **Connection Type** tab, click **Next**.

   4. On the **General Info** tab, click **Next**.

3. Configure provisioning:

   Learn more in [Configuring outbound provisioning](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/help_spconnectionconfigtasklet_saasprovisioningstate.html) in the PingFederate documentation.

   1. On the **Outbound Provisioning** tab, click **Configure Provisioning**.

   2. On the **Target** tab, in the **PingOne Environment** list, select your environment.

   3. **Optional:** In the **Provisioning Options** section, customize the provisioning connector behavior by referring to [Provisioning options reference](pf_p1_ik_provisioning_options_reference.html), then click **Next**.

   4. On the **Manage Channels** tab, configure a channel as shown in [Configuring a channel](pf_p1_ik_configuring_a_channel.html).
