Access Manager with "Meraki IdP" ?

[thomasthomsen]

When going to Access-Manager -> Users you can create a user.

This user is then part of the "Meraki IdP", but when you select and view the user it says :IdP Status Disabled

Is there a way to get the "Meraki IdP" enabled ? So we can use it in a policy ?

(So I dont have to setup something i Azure for testing and demo purposes ?)

Thanks

Thomas

• The IdP in Merak is currently limited in functionality. It is primarily intended for basic testing and demonstration.
• A disabled status typically means that authentication is not fully enabled or supported for that user in production scenarios.
• According to the documentation, there is no supported way to fully enable the IdP for use in production policies.
• If you want to avoid configuring Azure AD or Entra ID for testing, you can simulate some flows using username/password authentication, but this often leads to issues with MFA requirements or conditional access policies on the IdP side.
• For realistic testing or demonstration environments, Cisco recommends integrating with a suitable IdP, such as Azure AD, Okta, or Google Workspace.
