# Resolving IdP connection errors

### About this task

PingFederate automatically validates configured connections before displaying them on the **IdP Connections** window. This validation ensures these connections have not been adversely affected by any subsequent changes in the supporting components, such as an adapter instance or an authentication policy contract.

If errors are found, the administrative console displays a visual cue next to the applicable connections.

### Steps

* To resolve the error, select the connection and follow the on-window instructions to modify the configuration, one connection at a time.
