# Creating web session access token identity mappings

Add a web session access token identity mapping to PingAccess.

## About this task

PingAccess can map the access token from a web session to the bearer authentication token of request headers. This lets PingAccess integrate with protected APIs that expect OAuth *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A standard framework that enables an application (OAuth client) to obtain access tokens from an OAuth authorization server for the purpose of retrieving protected resources on a resource server.\</p>
\</div>)* access tokens issued by the same OAuth authorization server used in PingAccess.

## Steps

1. In the administrative console, click **Access** then go to **Identity Mappings → Identity Mappings**.

2. Click **[icon: plus, set=fa]Add Identity Mapping**.

3. In the **Name** field, enter a name for the new identity mapping.

4. From the **Type** list, select **Web Session Access Token Identity Mapping**.

5. Click **Save**.
