# Configuring token creation

The PingFederate security token service (STS) requires creating tokens to enable web services access to resources at your service provider (SP) partner's site.

## About this task

For the PingFederate STS to issue a security token in response to requests for partner services, you must indicate what user attributes are to be included in the token attribute contract. The attribute values sent in the token are then derived by mapping those available from the token processor you select. As with browser single sign-on (SSO), the mapping can be augmented using local data stores, variable or constant text, or expressions.

## Steps

* On the **Token Creation**, click **Configure Token Creation** to begin a token creation configuration.
