# Preparing your SAML metadata file

Modify the SAML details in the included `saml-metadata.xml` file. This file makes it easier to configure your connection in PingFederate.

## Steps

1. In a text editor, open the `saml-metadata.xml` file that is included in the Slack Provisioner `.zip` archive.

2. In the `.xml` file, find the `Location="https://TEAM_NAME.slack.com/sso/saml"` line. Modify it with your Slack Workspace or Enterprise Grid name.

   For example, `Location="https://myworkspace.slack.com/sso/saml"`.

3. Remove the trailing slash (`/`) from `entityID="https://slack.com/"`.

   Result: `entityID="https://slack.com"`

4. Save your changes.

   You'll use this file in [Creating a provisioning connection](pf_slack_connector_creating_a_provisioning_connection.html).
