Set up N-able Login with Entra ID as an IdP

N-able Login with Entra ID acts as an Identity Provider (IdP), enabling users to securely access multiple applications through a single authentication process. This streamlined approach enhances security, simplifies user experience, and improves efficiency by eliminating the need to log in separately to each application.

Before you begin:

  • Ensure your N-ableN-central instance allows outbound TCP traffic on port 8088 to enable communication with N-able cloud services. Learn More.

  • Note: Switching to N-able Login with Entra ID will change the sign-in experience across all N-able products that use N-able Login.

  1. Log into N-central using N-able Login.

  2. From the top bar Account menu, select Identity providers setup.

  3. In the "Microsoft Entra ID user provisioning" tile, select Setup.

    This information is displayed once. We recommend that you copy and save it locally. You will need it later if you want to set up Entra ID for auto user provisioning. If lost, you will need to create a support case to retrieve it.

NEXT: Create the N-able user provisioning application
