Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

  • Go to BitaBIZ 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 BitaBIZ 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 BitaBIZ 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 BitaBIZ for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
