I have an application listed in Enterprise Applications in Entra, that I want to make available to our users through the office.com Apps page. It does appear in the list of Apps, however, when users click on the link they go to the marketing homepage for the app, rather than the page that logs them in. In the properties for the application, the homepage URL is displayed as the marketing URL, not the login URL. Is this what I need to change to correct the address that users go to when clicking on the link for the app on the Apps page? Or is a different property used? Currently the Homepage URL is greyed out, and I can find no way of editing it through the Entra interface. I have also tried to locate the app using Powershell Get-MgApplication and Get-MgServicePrincipal commands hoping that I might be able to use Powershell to change properties of the app. Neither include the app! I've also looked in Entra > Application Registrations, but the app is not listed there. I can't find any good documentation that explains how to adjust settings for applications listed on the Apps page of office.com.

Hi @Duncan Drury Thank you for post! I understand that you are having trouble changing the URL for an application in your tenant and the registered app is not listed under Application Registrations. By default, when you open the App registrations you will see the 'Owned applications' If the app is not registered by you can see under the 'All applications' which as show below. To change the Homepage URL for the application, you will need to edit the application object in Azure AD. Here are the steps to do this: Sign in to the Azure portal as an administrator. Navigate to the Azure Active Directory blade. Click on "Enterprise applications" and select the application you want to edit. Click on "Single sign-on" in the left-hand menu. Under "Basic SAML Configuration", click on "Edit". In the "Sign-on URL" field, enter the URL for the login page of the application. Click "Save" to save your changes.

There is no longer an "Azure Active Directory blade" as Microsoft have rebranded Azure Active Directory to Entra. I searched for Enterprise Applications instead which took me to the same blade I see in the Entra interface.

I can see the application listed in Enterprise Applications, but under Single Sign On I see this message instead of the UI

So this looks like something that the vendor of the app needs to change at their end. Each of their customers will have a different URL, and they are currently just publishing the marketing page for their product. What can I suggest they do so that this can get resolved faster?

Hi @Duncan Drury

I am sorry for the issue which you have faced.The homepage URL can't be edited within enterprise applications. The homepage URL must be edited on the app registration.
In order to edit the Homepage URL you need to edit it from the App registration under manage-> branding and properties which is show in the below screen shot.
once you change the URL the same URL is reflect under your service principle.
If this application is from the Microsoft Entra Gallery, this URL is where you can go to learn more about the application or its vendor.
The owner of the application or the admins of the source tenant have the access to edit the Homepage URL.
I suggest you reach the owner of the application or the admins of the source tenant and inform that you are getting homepage URL is displayed as the marketing URL.

The app does not appear in the App Registrations blade of Entra, either under Owned applications or All Applications. It is only listed in the Enterprise applications blade. I think this might be the case for any Applications added from the Microsoft Entra Gallery etc.

Hello @Duncan Drury

If the application is visible under the Enterprise applications and not appear in App Registrations blade it is because of the application is not registered under your tenant.
In your case the application is registered in your vendor tenant and shared to your tenant to use the resources and application. if any changes need on this application it needs to manage in your vendor tenant.

The answer would be much more helpful if it helped me to communicate with the vendor - what change do they need to make in order to resolve the issue? If I'm equipped with that, I am much more likely to get a resolution than if I just tell them there is a problem with the login URL.

Hello @Duncan Drury

As we discuss in over the call the if the application is a gallery application it is not possible to update home URL. if the application is non-gallery application you can edit the home page URL of the app under app registration which has shown bellow

In your case your application is managed in your vendor tenant, I suggest to reach them and inform that the URL is not redirect to the correct one.

Hope this helps. Do let us know if you any further queries. ------------ If this answers your query, do click Accept Answer and Yes for was this answer helpful. And, if you have any further query do let us know.

Thanks Ahkilesh. You helped me understand this. In the end I created a custom app in App Registrations with the URL specific to my company. This app then appeared in Enterprise Applications and I could assign it to the appropriate people - the link now appears in the Microsoft 365 Apps page for my organisation, and takes people to the correct location. The single sign in is still handled by the app distributed by our vendor, but I hid this from the list. Now I've got what I needed. Thanks so much for your help.
