# Managing Client Registration Policy instances

The Client Registration Policy plugin allows you to write custom processing rules to provide additional control over which registrations and configurations are accepted and stored for each client created with the OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration protocol.

## About this task

Depending on the technical requirements of your use cases, you can create Client Registration Policy plugins using the PingFederate SDK. After deploying your plugins, you can create and configure instances of them. Configuration requirements vary based on your custom solutions. When you are ready to configure dynamic client registration, add your policies to its configuration.

## Steps

1. Implement the `DynamicClientRegistrationPlugin` interface.

   For more information, refer to the Javadoc for the `DynamicClientRegistrationPlugin` interface, the `SoftwareStatementValidatorPlugin.java` file for a sample implementation, and the [SDK developer's guide](../sdk_developers_guide/pf_sdk_developers_guide.html) for build and deployment information.

   |   |                                                                                                                  |
   | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | The Javadoc for PingFederate and the sample implementation are in the `<pf_install>/pingfederate/sdk` directory. |

2. Create, modify, or remove one or more instances.

   ### Choose from:

   * To configure a new instance, click **Create New Instance**.

   * To modify an existing instance, select it under **Instance Name**.

   * To remove an existing instance or to cancel the removal request, click **Delete** or **Undelete** under **Action**.

     |   |                                                                                                                         |
     | - | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | You can remove a Client Registration Policy instance only if it is not currently in-use by dynamic client registration. |

   * To save the plugin configuration, click **Save**.

## Result

|   |                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|   | A Client Registration Policy instance is not enforced, or executed as part of the dynamic client registration process, until it is selected on the **Client Registration Policies** window. |
