# Overriding a token processor instance

Customize the token processor instance settings for overriding one or more token processor settings for a connection.

## About this task

On the **Override Instance** tab, configure override token processor settings specifically for this connection.

|   |                                                                                                                                                  |
| - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
|   | Any changes to the base token processor instance are propagated to a connection provided the same changes are not overridden for the connection. |

## Steps

1. Click **Override Instance Settings**.

2. On the **Instance Configuration**, **Extended Contract**, and **Token Attributes** tabs, for each of the settings, select the **Override** checkbox and make your changes.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | If you are editing a currently mapped token processor instance, click **Override Instance Settings** to reconfigure any overridden settings for this connection. You can also remove all overridden settings on a per-tab basis by clearing the **Override** checkbox near the top of the window. |

3. Click **Next**.

4. Click **Done** to close the **Override Instance Settings** window and continue with the rest of the **IdP Token Processor Mapping** window configuration.
