# Symantec VIP Integration Kit

The Symantec VIP integration kit allows PingFederate to use Symantec VIP as a second authentication factor for single sign-on (SSO) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>The process of authenticating an identity (signing on) at one website (usually with a user ID and password) and then accessing resources secured by other domains without reauthenticating.\</p>
\</div>)*.

## Components

* Symantec VIP IdP adapter

  * Allows PingFederate to contact the Symantec VIP application programming interface (API) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
    \<p>A specification of interactions available for building software to access an application or service.\</p>
    \</div>)*, which triggers a 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>)* request for the user.

  * Accepts a security code from earlier in the authentication flow to allow users to sign on without a prompt.

  * Allows users to add and reset authentication credentials.

* Security code prompt page

  * Allows users to enter a security code from Symantec VIP manually or choose an authentication method.

* Language pack

  * Allows you to customize or localize the messages shown to the user during authentication.
