Test SSO

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

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to iGrafx Platform Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to iGrafx Platform Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
