  • Article

In this tutorial, you learn how to perform one-click, single sign-on (SSO) configuration for SAML-supporting, Microsoft Entra applications from the Azure Marketplace.

Introduction to one-click SSO

The one-click SSO feature is designed to configure single sign-on for Azure Marketplace apps that support SAML protocol. On the Microsoft Entra SSO configuration page, this option allows you to automatically configure the Microsoft Entra metadata on the application side. In this way, you can quickly set up SSO with minimal manual effort.

Advantages of one-click SSO

  • Quick SSO configuration of Azure Marketplace applications that require manual setup on application side.
  • More efficient and accurate SSO configuration.
  • No partner communication or support needed for setup. The application provides the UI for SAML configuration.

Prerequisites

  • An active subscription of the application to configure with SSO. You also need admin credentials.
  • The My Apps Secure Sign-in extension from Microsoft installed in the browser. For more information, see Access and use apps on the My Apps portal.
