Create 123FormBuilder SSO test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in 123FormBuilder SSO. 123FormBuilder SSO supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in 123FormBuilder SSO, a new one is created after authentication.

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to 123FormBuilder SSO Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to 123FormBuilder SSO Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the 123FormBuilder SSO 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 123FormBuilder SSO 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 123FormBuilder SSO for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
