Configure Wrike SSO

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

Create Wrike test user

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

Note

If you need to create a user manually, contact Wrike support team.

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 Wrike Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

• Go to Wrike 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 Wrike 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 Wrike 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 Wrike for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
