To use PingFederate for provisioning and single sign-on (SSO), configure an external datastore and set a SAML entity ID.

Your external datastore acts as the source of data for provisioning. PingFederate also uses an internal datastore to store the state of synchronization between the source datastore and the target datastore.

For more information, see Datastores and Configuring outbound provisioning settings in the PingFederate documentation.
