Test SSO
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.

Go to AuditBoard Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
IDP initiated:
Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the AuditBoard for which you set up the SSO.
You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode.
