# Setting up PingAuthorize for Apigee integration

To allow Apigee to use PingAuthorize as an external runtime authorization service, set up PingAuthorize to receive authorization requests from Apigee.

## Before you begin

[Install PingAuthorize](../installing_and_uninstalling_pingauthorize/paz_install_pingauthorize.html).

## Steps

1. On the **Configuration** page of the PingAuthorize administrative console, in the **Web Services and Applications** section, go to **HTTP Servlet Extensions > Sideband API**.

2. In the **Request Context Method** list, select **state**.

3. In the **Shared Secret Header Name** field, enter `CLIENT-TOKEN`.

4. To create a new shared secret, in the **Shared Secrets** section, click the **[icon: plus, set=fa]**icon to the right of the **Selected** table.

5. In the **New Sideband API Shared Secret** modal, enter a shared secret name and value, and then click **Save To PingAuthorize Server Cluster**.

6. Click **Save**.
