  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra environment, you can get a free account.
  • An ITRP subscription that has single sign-on enabled.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on in a test environment.

  • ITRP supports SP-initiated SSO.

To configure the integration of ITRP into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add ITRP from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.
