# 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.

## What you'll do

This workflow simulates an external identity provider by creating two PingOne environments. Configuration includes:

* POST requests to create source and destination environments.

* POST requests to create applications in each environment.

* POST requests to configure the sign-on policy for the destination environment.
