Microsoft Entra ID

Directory integration

Connect NIM with Microsoft Entra ID to automate data synchronization and operational workflows across your environment.

Connect NIM to Microsoft Entra ID with the Configuration Wizard or a certificate-authenticated app registration, then test the connection and collect current directory data before enabling automation.

NIM connects to Microsoft Entra ID to collect directory data and automate supported identity operations. The Configuration Wizard is the recommended path: it creates the Entra ID app registration, applies the required Microsoft Graph application permissions, and configures certificate authentication.

Use the manual path only when your organization needs to create or manage the app registration outside NIM. In that case, you need the application client ID, directory tenant ID, a public .cer certificate uploaded to Entra ID, the matching .pfx certificate in NIM, and tenant-wide admin consent for the selected Microsoft Graph permissions.

Verify success: Save the system and select Test Connection. A success message confirms that NIM can authenticate to Entra ID; then collect the system and confirm the required tables contain current data.
