# Setting up an LDAP gateway

Set up an LDAP gateway connection by configuring a gateway in PingOne and downloading a gateway instance to run on-premise, adjacent to the LDAP directory.

To set up a gateway:

## Steps

1. [Add an LDAP gateway](p1_add_ldap_gateway.html).

2. [Add a user type](p1_add_a_user_type.html).

3. [Start a gateway instance](p1_starting_gateway_instance_ldap.html).

4. [Verify a gateway instance](p1_verifying_gateway_instance_ldap.html).

5. (Optional) [Create an authentication policy that uses a gateway](p1_create_auth_policy_using_the_gateway.html).

6. (Optional) [Add an authentication policy to an application](p1_add_the_auth_policy_to_an_application.html).
