How to deploy the identity & service provider
&&TODO&& ??????????????????
Step-by-step
1. To deploy the identity & service 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. The next step will be to create an Entity Group.
