Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Glia Hub
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Glia Hub using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Glia Hub.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Glia Hub, perform the following steps:
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Glia Hub > Single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:

Note
These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL, Sign on URL, Relay State and Logout Url. Contact Glia Hub support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Microsoft Entra admin center.
Glia Hub application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes.
In addition to above, Glia Hub application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response, which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.
Name
Source Attribute
idp_name_attribute
user.userprincipalname
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, click copy button to copy App Federation Metadata Url and save it on your computer.

Test SSO
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
SP initiated:
Click on Test this application in Microsoft Entra admin center. This will redirect to Glia Hub Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to Glia Hub Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
IDP initiated:
Click on Test this application in Microsoft Entra admin center and you should be automatically signed in to the Glia Hub 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 Glia Hub 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 Glia Hub for which you set up the SSO.
