# Populating extended property values for IdP connections

Add, remove, or update extended property values.

## Steps

On the **System** tab, add, remove, or update one or more values for any extended properties defined in **System > Server > Extended Properties**.

|   |                                                                                                                                                                    |

|   | Any values defined for these extended properties will be passed to all applicable velocity templates and as a request context parameter in the authentication API. |

Extended property values can serve as metadata. They can also help drive authentication requirements. For more information, see [Extended properties](pf_extended_properti.html).
