How do I create a SAML Azure AD Application?

Question

I'm trying to create a SAML-based SSO integration for my external app. We support SAML SSO currently with Okta and OneLogin and our customers are requesting that we also add the ability to sign in with Azure. However, when I create a new application in the Enterprise Applications section, it defaults to an Openid/OAuth2 app without allowing me to select SAML as the SSO provider. Is there a setting I need to set or a different flow to use in order to enable this?

Thanks!

Hello @Zak ,

Thanks for reaching out.

I was wondering whether you choose "Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery)" while creating a new application from the Enterprise Applications section. If so then you must see SAML SSO setting under "Single sign-on" section from Enterprise application as show below. Hope this was helpful.

Application creation:
