Configure Innotas SSO

To configure single sign-on on Innotas side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Innotas support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Innotas test user

There is no action item for you to configure user provisioning to Innotas. When an assigned user tries to sign in to Innotas using the access panel, Innotas checks whether the user exists. If there is no user account available yet, it is automatically created by Innotas.

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 Innotas Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

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

  • You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Innotas tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Innotas Sign-on URL. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
