Gather Tailscale credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Tailscale. Gather these credentials before you move on.

A user with the Admin role in Tailscale must perform this task.

Generate a new API key

  1. Log into Tailscale as an Admin user and click Settings.

  2. Click Keys.

  3. Click Generate API key. A Generated new key window opens showing the full value of the newly created key.

  4. Copy and save the API key.

That’s it! Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

Configure the Tailscale connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

  • The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in ConductorOne
  • Access to the set of Tailscale credentials generated by following the instructions above

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by ConductorOne.

  1. In ConductorOne, navigate to Admin > Connectors and click Add connector.

  2. Search for Tailscale and click Add.

  3. Choose how to set up the new Tailscale connector:

    • Add the connector to a currently unmanaged app (select from the list of apps that were discovered in your identity, SSO, or federation provider that aren’t yet managed with ConductorOne)

    • Add the connector to a managed app (select from the list of existing managed apps)

    • Create a new managed app

  4. Set the owner for this connector. You can manage the connector yourself, or choose someone else from the list of ConductorOne users. Setting multiple owners is allowed.

    If you choose someone else, ConductorOne will notify the new connector owner by email that their help is needed to complete the setup process.

  5. Click Next.

  6. Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

  7. Paste the API key you into the Tailscale API key field.

  8. In the Tailnet field, enter the name of your Tailscale network.

    Find the name of your Tailnet in the top left corner of the Tailscale Admin Panel, next to the Tailscale logo.

  9. Click Save.

  10. The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

That’s it! Your Tailscale connector is now pulling access data into ConductorOne.

Follow these instructions to use a connector, hosted and run in your own environment.
