WSO2 Identity Server can mediate authentication requests between service providers and identity providers. At the same time, the Identity Server itself can act as a service provider and an identity provider. When it acts as an identity provider it is known as the resident identity provider.

Follow the instructions below to add a new resident identity provider.

  1. Sign in. Enter your username and password to log on to the Management Console. 
  2. Navigate to the Main menu to access the Identity menu. Click Add under Identity Providers.
  3. Fill in the details in the Basic Information section.
