|   | You can customize your Webex configuration beyond the basics described here. However, the SP connection created by the connector template does not support the Webex Account Creation/Update options. These SAML assertion-based provisioning options conflict with the connector's outbound provisioning methodology. |

## Steps

1. Download your PingFederate SAML metadata file.

   For more information, see [Metadata export](https://docs.pingidentity.com/pingfederate/latest/administrators_reference_guide/pf_metadata_export.html) in the PingFederate documentation.

2. Sign on to your Webex administrator site.

3. In the upper-right corner, click your account, and then click **Webex Administration.**

4. Go to **Configuration > Common Site Settings > SSO Configuration** and in the **Federation Protocol** list, select **SAML 2.0**.

5. Click **Import SAML Metadata**, select the PingFederate metadata file that you downloaded, and then click **Open**.

   |   |                                                                                                       |
   | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If you receive a message asking whether you want to overwrite an existing certificate, click **Yes**. |

6. Configure the fields based on the following table.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                            |
   | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | At a minimum, you must change the Webex default AuthnContextClassRef value, as specified in the table. This setting is not contained in the SAML metadata. |
