# Integrating Customer environments with PingFederate

You can integrate PingFederate with a Customer environment. The PingOne console has a built-in wizard for configuring a PingFederate connection. A PingFederate connection in PingOne MFA is actually a worker app with a specific configuration.

## Before you begin

Make sure you've done the following:

* [Created an application](../applications/p1_applications_add_applications.html).

* Associated the application with an authentication policy that has an MFA step. Learn more in [Authentication policies](../authentication/p1_authenticationpolicies.html).

## About this task

The wizard for creating a new PingFederate connection is an abridged worker app creation flow. Organizations using PingFederate as an identity provider (IdP) should implement this configuration.
