Connect your identity provider

Your identity provider (IdP) is the anchor for identity correlation in Axiad Mesh. Connecting it first lets Mesh resolve who your people are before you layer on data from other systems.

Prerequisites​

  • An administrator account in Mesh with permission to manage connectors.
  • Administrative access to your IdP (for example, Microsoft Entra ID or Okta).
  • The ability to register an application / grant API permissions in your IdP.

Steps​

  1. In the Mesh dashboard, open Admin → Connectors and choose Add connector.
  2. Select your identity provider from the Identity Provider category.
  3. Register Mesh as an application in your IdP and grant the read permissions listed on the connector setup screen (typically directory and sign-in/audit read scopes).
  4. Paste the resulting credentials (client ID, tenant/directory ID, and client secret) into the connector configuration. Secret fields are write-only and are never displayed back.
  5. Save the connector and run an initial collection.

Verify​

  • The connector status shows Connected and the first collection completes without errors.
  • Identities from your IdP appear in the dashboard within a few minutes.

Next step​

With identities flowing in, connect your first source system:
