# Managing STS request parameters

Configure PingFederate to act as a WS-Trust security token service (STS) by defining sets of Request for Security Token (RST) metadata parameters that can be used for mapping attributes into outgoing SAML security tokens.

## About this task

After these request contracts are defined, you can make them available when configuring WS-Trust STS settings in the SP connections. For more information, see [Selecting a request contract](help_wstrustsettingstasklet_wstrustmanagerequestcontractsstate.html).

To manage your request contracts:

## Steps

* Go to **Authentication > Token Exchange > STS Request Parameters**

  ### Choose from:

  * To configure a new set of request parameters, click **Add New Request Contract**.

  * To modify an existing request contract, select it by its name in the**Contract Name** column.

* To review the usage of an existing request contract, in the **Action** section, click **Check Usage**.

* To remove an existing request contract or to cancel the removal request, in the **Action** section, click **Delete** or **Undelete**.
