To allow PingFederate to manage users in the target service, create a service provider (SP) connection.

In the PingFederate administrator console, create a new SP connection:
- For PingFederate 10.1 or later: go to Applications > Integration > SP Connections. Click Create Connection.
- For PingFederate 10.0 or earlier: go to Identity Provider > SP Connections. Click Create Connection.
Configure the basic connection details with the the target service quick connection template.
1. On the Connection Template tab, select Use a template for this connection.
2. From the Connection Template list, select Aquera Provisioner. Click Next.
3. On the Connection Type tab select Outbound Provisioning. Click Next.
4. On the General Info tab, in the Connection Name field, enter a name of your choosing. Click Next.
On the Outbound Provisioning tab, configure provisioning with the following details.
For help, see Configuring outbound provisioning in the PingFederate documentation.
1. On the Target screen, enter the URL and authentication details that you noted in Add an application in Aquera.
  
  Note: PingFederate verifies the authentication details when you activate the channel and SP connection.
2. Under Provisioning Options, customize the provisioning connector behavior by referring to Aquera Connector settings reference. Click Next.
3. On the Manage Channels > Attribute Mapping tab, at the end of the page, click Refresh Fields. Complete the required (*) attribute mappings and any optional mappings that you want.
  
  The Refresh Fields button causes PingFederate to get the attribute schema from the target service. The schema can include custom attributes (marked with IANUser) and standard SCIM attributes. For details about standard SCIM attributes, see Supported attributes reference.
  
  For help with mapping attributes, see Managing channels in the PingFederate documentation.
On the Activation and Summary tab, above the Summary section, click the toggle to turn on the connection. Click Save.
