# Federation settings

If your identity federation uses the SAML 2.0 X.509 attribute sharing profile (XASP), you might need to identify the identity provider (IdP) connection to which an attribute request applies.

If so, use the **System > Protocol Metadata > Attribute Requester Mapping** window to complete the configuration. For more information, see [Attribute Query and XASP](../introduction_to_pingfederate/pf_attrib_query_xasp.html) and [Managing attribute requester mappings](help_manageattributerequestermappingtasklet_attributerequestermappingstate.html).

View endpoints that your federation partners need to know to access your services from the **Help** menu.
