# Configuring a Client Registration Policy instance

For additional control over clients created with the OAuth 2.0 Dynamic Client Registration protocol, use the **Client Registration Policies** window to create or modify a Client Registration Policy instance.

## Steps

1. Go to **System > OAuth Settings > Client Registration Policies**.

   ### Choose from:

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

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

2. On the **Type** tab, enter a name and an ID for a new instance, and then select a plugin from the list.

   When modifying an existing policy plugin instance, you can only change the **Instance Name** field.

   If the **Type** list does not contain the desired Client Registration Policy plugin, create one using the PingFederate SDK. 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. |

3. In the **Instance Configuration** tab, follow the on-screen instructions to configure the Client Registration Policy instance.

   |   |                                                                                 |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | This window varies depending on the selected Client Registration Policy plugin. |

4. On the **Summary** tab, review the plugin configuration. Click **Done**.

5. In the **Client Registration Policies** window, 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. |
