Step-by-step
1. To create an identity provider is advisable to install a dedicated sync server. It can be configured as a proxy sync server as it does not need direct access to Sofid database. Instead, it will connect to main sync servers to get users and federation information.
To install a proxy sync server follow the instructions at the Install Syncserver page.
2. Then, it will be necessary to create an agent, you could create a Soffid Identity Provider agent. On the connector parameters you must define an unique Public ID which will be used on the Identity Provider configuration.
To create an agent you can visit the Agents page.
