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

Configure Raketa SSO

To configure single sign-on on Raketa side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Base64) and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Raketa support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Raketa test user

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

Test SSO

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

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to Raketa Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Raketa Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

  • You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Raketa tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Raketa Sign-on URL. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
