Create Wisdom by Invictus test user

In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in Wisdom by Invictus. Work with Wisdom by Invictus support team to add the users in the Wisdom by Invictus platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Azure AD single sign-on configuration with following options.

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Azure portal. This will redirect to Wisdom by Invictus Sign-On URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Wisdom by Invictus Sign-On URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application in Azure portal and you should be automatically signed in to the Wisdom by Invictus for which you set up the SSO.

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Wisdom by Invictus tile in the My Apps, if configured in SP mode you would be redirected to the application sign-on page for initiating the login flow and if configured in IDP mode, you should be automatically signed in to the Wisdom by Invictus for which you set up the SSO.
