The PingFederate security token service (STS) uses token generators to issue security tokens that can be consumed by web services at your site. You must configure at least one generator in order to set up an STS connection or a token-to-token mapping.

In the Token Generators window, create, modify, review, or remove a token generator instance.

Note: PingFederate comes bundled with the SAML 1.1 Token Generator and SAML 2.0 Token Generator.

You can deploy additional token translators from Ping Identity website.

For simplicity, this topic focuses on configuring an instance of the SAML 1.1 or 2.0 Token Generator. For add-on token generators, please refer to the online documentation referenced in the download package.

For more information about WS-Trust, see Web services standards.

Go to Applications > Token Exchange > Token Generators.

In the Token Generatorswindow, choose from the following options.

Option	Description
Create New Instance	Configure a new instance
`<Existing instance link>` under Instance Name	Modify an existing instance
Check Usage	Review the usage of an existing instance
Delete or Undelete	Remove an existing instance or cancel the removal

Note:

By default, PingFederate automatically checks multi-connection errors whenever you access this window. This verifies that configured connections are not adversely affected by changes made here.

If you experience noticeable delays in accessing this window, you can disable automatic connection validation. Go to System > Server > General Settings.
