Navigating the Hexnode Identity Provider Dashboard
Hexnode IdP is a unified Identity Provider (IdP) designed to manage and secure user identities across enterprise applications from a centralized platform. It enables organizations to streamline authentication workflows, enforce identity-based access controls, and integrate enterprise directories.
The Hexnode IdP Dashboard
The Dashboard is the default landing page and consolidated control center of the Hexnode IdP portal. It aggregates real-time insights from directory integrations, authentication events, and security policies to help administrators monitor directory health, evaluate policy adoption, and detect anomalies (e.g., failed sign-ins, unusual login locations).
Tenant Information: The top section displays the organization name. Hovering over the information icon reveals the Tenant ID (a unique portal identifier) and the Primary Domain.
Navigation Panel
The primary administrative sections accessible from the navigation panel include:
| Tab Name | Description |
| Directory | Manage users, groups, and organizational units (OUs). |
| Applications | Configure enterprise applications and authentication protocols (e.g., SSO for authentication, SCIM for automated provisioning). |
| Security | Configure identity protection policies (e.g., Multi-Factor Authentication [MFA], password standards). |
| Settings | Manage tenant configurations and third-party integrations. |
| Reports | View detailed reports related to identity and authentication activity. |
Dashboard Components & Widgets
The dashboard features multiple widgets providing real-time identity and authentication insights.
Overview Banner
A quick snapshot of directory scale and user activity, featuring real-time counts and trend indicators (percentage changes). Clicking any card redirects to the Directory tab.
Time Ranges: The percentage changes displayed on the cards are dynamically calculated based on selectable time intervals: Last week, Last 15 days, or Last Month.
