# Connect PingAccess to PingFederate

This section explains how to configure PingAccess to communicate with PingFederate.

In this configuration procedure, you will perform the following tasks:

1. [Import certificates and create a trusted certificate group](pa_importing_certificates_and_creating_a_trusted_certificate_group.html).

2. [Configure the token provider](pa_configuring_the_token_provider.html).

After configuring PingAccess to use PingFederate as a token provider, you can configure it to protect a web application. See [Protecting a web application](../pingaccess_use_cases/pa_protecting_a_web_app_with_pa_in_a_gateway_deployment.html) for more information.
