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 Radancy's Employee Referrals Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Radancy's Employee Referrals Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Radancy's Employee Referrals 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 Radancy's Employee Referrals for which you set up the SSO.
