# Deploying the integration files

To get started with the integration, deploy the X.509 Certificate Integration Kit files to your PingFederate directory.

## Steps

1. Download the X.509 Certificate Integration Kit `.zip` archive from the [**Add-ons** tab of the PingFederate downloads page](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/downloads/pingfederate.html) or the [Ping Identity Marketplace](https://marketplace.pingone.com/item/x509-integration-kit).

2. Stop PingFederate.

3. If you're upgrading an existing deployment, delete `x509-certificate-adapter-<version>.jar` from the `<pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/deploy` directory.

4. Extract the `.zip` archive and merge the contents of the `dist` directory with your `<pf_install>/pingfederate` directory.

5. In `<pf_install>/pingfederate/bin/run.properties`, change the value of `pf.secondary.https.port` from `-1` to a valid port number.

6. Start PingFederate.

7. If you operate PingFederate in a cluster, repeat steps 2 - 6 for each engine node.
