Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Azure AD SSO in a test environment.

To configure and test Azure AD SSO with Supermood, complete the following building blocks:

  1. Configure Azure AD SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
  2. Configure Supermood SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    • Create Supermood test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Supermood that is linked to the Azure AD representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
