- Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
- Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
- Configure E-days SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
- Create E-days test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in E-days that's linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
- Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Federation Metadata XML and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.
On the Set up E-days section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

To configure single sign-on on E-days side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to E-days support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
Create E-days test user
In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in E-days. Work with E-days support team to add the users in the E-days 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 E-days Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to E-days 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 E-days 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 E-days 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 E-days for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
