Identity providers

To securely access Axiad Mesh, add the identity providers (IdPs) that contain your users' login and group role information.

Your first IdP is typically added during initial onboarding, so the steps below are needed only if you have multiple IdPs, or multiple domains whose user logins you need to account for.

Add an identity provider​

  1. From the homepage, select the gear icon to open the Settings page.

  3. Review your existing IdPs and their status on the Identity providers page.

  4. Select + Add identity provider.

    If the IdP you want to add isn't listed, contact Axiad Customer Success to request it as an enhancement.

  6. Fill out the required fields, then select Test Connection.

  7. After the connection test succeeds, select Add & connect.

  8. The new IdP appears on your Identity providers page.
