# Task 1: Configure Your Environment

The Environment Configuration endpoints perform the following actions:

* Update (or create) an application.

* Specify the application's resource grant.

* Specify a sign-on policy and define its actions.

* Define external identity providers.

Most of these workflows use an OIDC Web application with the application's `type` property set to `WEB_APP`. The Postman collections that accompany these flows reference the Web application that you created in *Getting Started*, Task 3.

## What you'll do

The application configuration in the Postman collections is a PUT call to modify the `tokenEndpointAuthMethod`. Run the PUT call for the authentication method that you want to test.

|   | For the `NONE` workflow, the application's `type` property is set to `NATIVE_APP`. In this case, you will create a new application using a POST request. |

If you haven't completed [Task 3: Create an SSO workflow](../../../../getting-started/simple-sso-workflow.html), do that first.

|   | If you choose to use an alternate application, be aware that the variables in the Postman collections point to the Task 3 application's ID. You must change references to the application ID manually either in your Postman environment or in the endpoint's URL or request body to run the request. |
