3. Go to **System → OAuth Settings → Authorization Server Settings** and configure the authorization server settings.

4. Go to the client management section.

   ### Choose from:

   * If you are using PingFederate 10.1 or later, go to **Applications → OAuth → Clients**.

5. Create or modify an existing client.

6. Ensure that **Client Secret** is enabled, and then enter a client secret to be used by PingAccess for authentication.

7. Grant access to the Session Revocation API.
