# Configuring default target URLs

You can define default target URLs for identity provider (IdP) connections.

## About this task

Use the **Protocol Settings > Overrides** tab to assign a default target URL for this IdP connection.

## Steps

1. (Optional) Enter a URL in the **Default Target URL** field.

   If specified, the value overrides the default target setting defined in the **Applications > Integration > SP Default URLs** window.

   |   | The SAML 1.x specifications for IdP-initiated single sign-on (SSO) require a target URL to be specified. If the target application is specified in the URL parameter to the `/sp/startSSO.ping` application endpoint, any URL specified in the **Default Target URL** field in this window will not be used for those transactions. |
