# Overriding an SP adapter instance

When configuring service provider (SP) browser single sign-on (SSO), you can override the adapter instance settings.

## About this task

On the **Override Instance** tab, you start a series of sub tasks to override adapter settings specifically for this connection.

|   |                                                                                                                                          |
| - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | Any changes to the base adapter instance are propagated to a connection provided the same changes are not overridden for the connection. |

## Steps

* Click **Override Instance Settings**.

  On each of the setting tabs, select the **Override** checkbox, make your changes, then click **Next**. When you are finished, click **Done** to continue with the rest of the mapping configuration.

  |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
  | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
  |   | The override setting tabs are functionally identical to those used for creating a new adapter instance. For more information, see [Managing SP adapters](help_adaptermanagementtasklet_spadaptermanagementstate.html). |

## Next steps

If you are editing a currently mapped adapter instance, click **Override Instance Settings** to reconfigure any overridden settings for this connection. You can also remove all overridden settings on a per-tab basis by clearing the **Override** checkbox near the top of the tab.
