Configure Way We Do SSO

To automate the configuration within Way We Do, you need to install My Apps Secure Sign-in browser extension by clicking Install the extension.
After adding extension to the browser, click on Setup Way We Do will direct you to the Way We Do application. From there, provide the admin credentials to sign into Way We Do. The browser extension will automatically configure the application for you and automate steps 3-6.
If you want to setup Way We Do manually, open a new web browser window and sign into your Way We Do company site as an administrator and perform the following steps:
Click the person icon in the top right corner of any page in Way We Do, then click Account in the dropdown menu.
Click the menu icon to open the push navigation menu and Click Single Sign On.
On the Single sign-on setup page, perform the following steps:
1. Click the Turn on single sign-on toggle to Yes to enable Single Sign-On.
2. In the Single sign-on name textbox, enter your name.
3. In the Entity ID textbox, paste the value of Azure AD Identifier, which you have copied from the Azure portal.

5. Upload the certificate by clicking the select button next to Certificate.
6. Optional Settings -
  - Enable Passwords - When this option is disabled, the regular password functions for Way We Do so that users can only use single sign-on.
  - Enable Auto-provisioning - When this is enabled, the email address used to sign-on will be automatically compared to the list of users in Way We Do. If the email address does not match an active user in Way We Do, it automatically adds a new user account for the person signing in, requesting any missing information.
    
    Note
    
    Users added through single sign-on are added as general users and are not assigned a role in the system. An Administrator is able to go in and modify their security role as an editor or administrator and can also assign one or several Org Chart roles.
7. Click Save to persist your settings.
