# Using sample applications

Configure and launch one or more sample applications.

## About this task

Once an application is configured, users can sign on using any configured user credentials. The QuickStart utility uses five users, which are configured by default. Credentials for these users are displayed in the **User Credentials** section.

## Steps

1. Go to https\://*\<hostname>*:8443 and sign on to the QuickStart utility.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
   |   | If you cannot access the utility, you might need to restart it by rerunning the `.jar` file. For more information, see the final step in [Installing and configuring QuickStart components](pa_installing_and_configuring_quickstart_components.html). |

2. Click **Sample Apps**.

3. In the **Access Control** section, under one of the sample applications, click **Configure**.

   |   |                                                                                                                                   |
   | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If you have already configured another sample application, the utility skips the PingFederate and PingAccess configuration pages. |

   ### Result:

   The **Configure PingFederate** window is displayed.

4. If you have not yet configured an application, configure PingFederate and PingAccess for the sample applications.

   The user interface displays the details of each PingFederate and PingAccess configuration step.

   1. Click **Configure PingFederate**.

   2. Click **Next**.

   3. Click **Configure PingAccess**.

   4. Click **Next**.

5. Click **Configure PingAccess**.

6. Click **Save and Close**.

7. Click **Launch**.

   ### Result:

   The application launches in a new tab. You can sign on to the app using any configured set of credentials.
