# AS400

AS400 is a mainframe on-premises computer and database that can store identity data. The AS400 application enables you to manage and synchronize users between AS400 and Advanced Identity Cloud. The application can only be a [target application](../applications.html#target_and_authoritative_applications).

The following instructions assume you have access to an AS400 instance as an administrator.

## Register the application

1. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, go to Applications, and click [icon: grid_view, set=material, size=inline] Browse App Catalog.

2. In the Browse App Catalog modal, select an application, and click Next.

3. Review the Application Integration information, and click Next.

4. In the Application Details window, specify the name, description, application owners, and logo for the application.

5. To make the application an [Authoritative](../applications.html#target_and_authoritative_applications) source of identity data, select the Authoritative check box. This option is not available for every application.

6. Click Create Application.

## Configure provisioning

After you register the application, you can configure provisioning.

1. Set up a [remote connector server (RCS)](../../identities/sync-identities.html).

2. Set up the [AS400 connector](https://docs.pingidentity.com/openicf/connector-reference/as400.html#install_the_as400_connector) with your RCS.

3. In the Advanced Identity Cloud admin console, on the Provisioning tab:

   * If setting up provisioning for the first time, click Set up Provisioning.

   * When editing existing settings in the Connection area, click Settings.

4. Configure the following fields:

   | Field     | Description                                                                          |
