# Configuring attribute sources and user lookup for token mapping

Configure one or more datastores using this optional adapter-to-adapter configuration to look up attributes and to set up search parameters to find information needed to fulfill contracts.

## About this task

Attribute sources are specific datastore or directory locations containing information that you might require to fulfill the contract of the token generator.

## Steps

* To configure an attribute source, click **Add Attribute Source** and complete the setup steps. For more information, see [Choosing a datastore](pf_choosing_datastore.html).

* To modify an attribute source configuration, select the attribute source and follow the configuration wizard to complete the task.
