# Choosing SP connection options

On the **Connection Options** tab, you can enable browser-based single sign-on (SSO), Attribute Query, or both for the current connection.

## Before you begin

For initial steps in creating a service provider (SP) connection, see [Choosing an SP connection type](help_spconnectionconfigtasklet_connroleandprotocolstate.html).

## Steps

1. Choose one or more of the following options.

   | Connection option   | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
