- For PingFederate 10.0 or earlier: go to Identity Provider > Adapters. Click Create New Instance.
On the Create Adapter Instances > Type tab, set the basic adapter instance attributes.
1. In the Instance Name field, enter a name for the adapter instance.
2. In the Instance ID field, enter a unique identifier for the adapter instance.
3. From the Type list, select HTML Form IdP Adapter. Click Next.
On the IdP Adapter tab, in the Credential Validators section, select your password credential validator.
