What you have described is almost certainly a scam, the likes of which has been reported here many times before. Wallets DO NOT need to be 'configured for mining'; that is not how mining works at all. DO NOT share wallet id, login, private keys, mnemonic seed, etc with him. You will lose your bitcoins.
