# Adding an application from the application catalog

Use the PingOne application catalog to configure single sign-on (SSO) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>The process of authenticating an identity (signing on) at one website (usually with a user ID and password) and then accessing resources secured by other domains without reauthenticating.\</p>
\</div>)* for popular applications.

## Steps

1. In PingOne admin console, go to **Applications > Application Catalog** and browse or search for applications.

2. Click the application entry to open the details panel.

3. For **Quick Setup**, enter the following information:

   * To change the application name, enter a new name in the **Name** field.

     |   |                                                                                                                                |
     | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
     |   | The application name must be unique, and cannot be the same as any applications configured at **Applications > Applications**. |

   * To change the icon for the application, click the icon image and select a new file.

     |   |                                                                                                                       |
     | - | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
     |   | Some applications require additional configuration inputs, such as **AccountID**, **Domain Name**, or **Vanity URL**. |

4. Click **Next**.

5. For **Map Attributes**, set up user attribute mapping from the application to PingOne.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
   |   | The required attributes for each application are pre-populated. In most cases, you won't need to alter the mappings.Required attributes must be mapped before you can proceed to the next configuration tab. |

   ### Choose from:

   * To change the attribute mapping, enter or select a new attribute in the **PingOne Mappings** list.

   * To designate the attribute as required, select the **Required** checkbox.

   * To use the expression builder or map the attribute to a literal string value, click the **Gear** icon. Learn more in [Using the expression builder](../pingone_expression_language/p1_use_expression_builder.html).

   * To delete an attribute mapping, click the **Delete** icon.

6. (Optional) To add a new attribute:

   1. Click **[icon: plus, set=fa]Add**.

   2. In the application field for the new attribute, enter the name of the attribute as it appears in the application.

   3. In the **PingOne Mappings** field for the new attribute, enter or select the PingOne attribute to map to.

      To use the expression builder or map the attribute to a literal string value, click the **Gear** icon. Learn more in [Using the expression builder](../pingone_expression_language/p1_use_expression_builder.html).

7. When you're finished mapping attributes, click **Next**.

8. For **Select Groups**, specify the groups that you want to have access to the application.

   |   |                                                                                                                           |
   | - | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | By default, all users have access to the application. Assigning groups restricts application access to only those groups. |

   Learn more in [Groups](../directory/p1_groups.html).

9. Click **Save**.

   ### Result:

   The application is now configured for PingOne. There may be additional configuration necessary on the application side.

10. To see applications that have already been configured, click the **Configured** tab.

11. On the **Overview** tab, download or copy information required by the application to complete the SSO configuration.

    This information includes the following PingOne details:

    * Metadata

    * Signing certificate

    * **Issuer ID** URL

    * **Initiate Single Sign-on URL**

    * **Single Signon Service** URL

    * **IdP Metadata URL**

## Next steps

After you configure the application, you can manage it from **Applications > Applications**.

To configure advanced application settings, go to the **Configuration** tab for the application to see all application settings, including but are not limited to:

* **ACS URLs**: The Assertion Consumer Service URLs.

* **Signing key**: The certificate that confirms that requests, responses, and assertions actually came from the application.

* **Entity ID**: The service provider (SP) entity ID used to look up the application.

* **SLO endpoint**: The SAML single logout endpoint URL.

* **Subject NameID format**: A string that specifies the format of the `Subject NameID` attribute in the SAML assertion.
