# Adding ServiceNow to Your PingOne for Enterprise Dock

Add the ServiceNow application to your PingOne for Enterprise Dock from the application catalog.

## Before you begin

To configure single sign-on (SSO) for ServiceNow, you must have the SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On plugin installed in your ServiceNow account. If this plugin is not yet installed, contact ServiceNow customer support.

## Steps

1. In the PingOne for Enterprise admin console, go to **Applications > Application Catalog**.

2. **Optional:** In the **Search** field, search for the application.

3. Click the **ServiceNow** application line to expand it and click **Setup**.

4. In a separate tab or window, sign on to your ServiceNow account as an administrative user.

5. In ServiceNow, go to **SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On > Properties**.

6. On the **Enable External Authentication** line, click **Yes**.

7. In the **Identity Provider URL which will issue the SAML2 Security token with user info** field, enter the **Issuer** value from PingOne for Enterprise.

8. In the **The base URL to the Identity Provider's AuthnRequest service. The AuthnRequest will be posted to this URL as the SAMLRequest parameter** field, enter `https://sso.connect.pingidentity.com/sso/idp/SSO.saml2?idpid=<IdP ID>`, replacing *\<IdP ID>* with the **IdP ID** value from PingOne for Enterprise.

## Next steps

In PingOne for Enterprise, click **Continue to Next Step**.

6. In the **Single Logout Response Endpoint** field, enter a URL for PingOne to send SLO responses to.

7. To add a **Primary Verification Certificate**, click **Browse** to locate and upload a local certificate file used to verify SLO requests and responses coming from ServiceNow.

8. To add a **Secondary Verification Certificate**, click **Browse** to locate and upload a local certificate used to verify SLO requests and responses if the primary certificate fails.

9. Select the **Force Re-authentication** checkbox to require your identity bridge to re-authenticate users with an active SSO session.

10. Select the **Encrypt Assertion** checkbox to encrypt outgoing SAML assertions.

11. On the **Signing** line:

    #### Choose from:

    * Click **Sign Assertion** to have PingOne sign outgoing SAML assertions. This is the default option.

    * Click **Sign Response** to have PingOne sign responses to incoming SAML assertions.
