# Adapter Mappings

Configuring adapter mappings allows administrators to map attributes from an authentication policy contract directly to a service provider (SP) adapter instance.

This allows the administrators to chain multiple authentication sources in an SP authentication policy, to build an authentication policy contract using attributes from authentication sources in the policy path, and to apply the authentication policy contract to the target application.
