Configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with JOBHUB using a test user called Britta Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in JOBHUB.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with JOBHUB, complete the following building blocks:

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
Configure JOBHUB SSO - to configure the Single Sign-On settings on application side.
Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with Britta Simon.
Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable Britta Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
Create JOBHUB test user - to have a counterpart of Britta Simon in JOBHUB that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
