# Configure PingIntelligence Cloud Connection

Navigate to `/opt/pingidentity/ase/config/abs.conf` and refer to the PingIntelligence cloud information received via email to configure the following:

* Set `abs_endpoint` to ABS IP

* Set `access_key` to ABS access key

* Set `secret_key` to ABS secret key

* Set `enable_ssl` to true

Here is a sample `abs.conf`file:

```
; API Security Enforcer ABS configuration.
; This file is in the standard .ini format. The comments start with a semicolon (;).
; Following configurations are applicable only if ABS is enabled with true.

; a comma-separated list of abs nodes having hostname:port or ipv4:port as an address.abs_endpoint=127.0.0.1:8080

; access key for abs node
 access_key=OBF:AES://ENOzsqOEhDBWLDY+pIoQ:jN6wfLiHTTd3oVNzvtXuAaOG34c4JBD4XZHgFCaHry0

; secret key for abs node
 secret_key=OBF:AES:Y2DadCU4JFZp3bx8EhnOiw:zzi77GIFF5xkQJccjIrIVWU+RY5CxUhp3NLcNBel+3Q

; Setting this value to true will enable encrypted communication with ABS.enable_ssl=true

; Configure the location of ABS's trusted CA certificates. If empty, ABS's certificate
; will not be verified
abs_ca_cert_path=
```
