# Adding a vendor-specific identity provider in PingOne

Add a vendor-specific external identity provider (IdP) *(tooltip: \<div class="paragraph">
\<p>A service that manages identity information and provides authentication services to relying clients or SPs within a federated or distributed network.\</p>
\</div>)* in PingOne to allow users to sign on to your applications using their existing credentials from services like Google, Apple, or LinkedIn. Adding an external IdP for a third-party vendor includes mapping PingOne user attributes to attributes from the IdP.
