Create MyWorkDrive test user
In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in MyWorkDrive. Work with MyWorkDrive support team to add the users in the MyWorkDrive platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.
Test SSO
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
SP initiated:
Select Test this application, this option redirects to MyWorkDrive Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to MyWorkDrive Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
IDP initiated:
- Select Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the MyWorkDrive for which you set up the SSO.
You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you select the MyWorkDrive 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 MyWorkDrive for which you set up the SSO.
