saml sp initiated with office 365 with azure AD - HTTP request

Question

Hi,

I am doing saml sp initiated with office 365, we are having our own identity provider. when doing sso office 365 doing post request for saml request, i was thinking whether there is any option to send the saml request as get request. most of the applications such as google, jira, service now and salesforce is providing that functionality.

it will be very helpful if it can send the http-redirect something like this other than http post.

Hello @Roshan Jha , I apologize for the delay in my response. I did check and would like to confirm that Azure AD will require HTTP POST for token submission during sign-in. HTTP-redirect isn't supported. Note that the recommended is WS-Fed for 3rd party IdPs connecting to O365.

Hope this helps.
