# Xiid Agent Setup #

Once you have an account with Xiid, the next step is to set up your first Xiid Agent.

Start by signing into the Xiid Management Portal ([https://manage.xiid.com/](https://manage.xiid.com/)) and navigating to the __Agents__ tab on the left side.

The purpose of this Agent is to integrate with your LDAP service and add a layer of security to your authentication.

Click the blue __New Agent__ button in the top left of the __Agents__ screen to start creating your first Agent.

The __Agent Info__ screen will auto-generate an Xiid Agent ID for you when you start creating a new agent. Fill in the “Friendly Name” section with a Display Name to contextually associate your Xiid Agent with the corresponding LDAP Service the Agent will secure.

After setting the friendly name, ensure that the “Enabled” setting is set to “Enabled” and then click the green __Save__ button in the top right of the screen.

You now have an Xiid Agent ready to integrate with your LDAP Service!
