    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 insuite SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create insuite test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in insuite that's linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Create insuite test user

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

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration using the Access Panel.

When you select the insuite tile in the Access Panel, you should be automatically signed in to the insuite for which you set up SSO. For more information about the Access Panel, see Introduction to the Access Panel.
