Configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for JOSA
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with JOSA 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 JOSA.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with JOSA, complete the following building blocks:
- Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
- 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 JOSA SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
- Create JOSA test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in JOSA that's linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
- Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
