Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Klaxoon SAML
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Klaxoon SAML 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 Klaxoon SAML.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Klaxoon SAML, perform the following steps:
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Klaxoon SAML > Single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, enter the values for the following fields:
a. In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<SUBDOMAIN>.klaxoon.com
b. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://enterprise-access.klaxoon.com/aaa/login/sso/<SUBDOMAIN>/callback
Note
These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Sign-on URL and Reply URL. Contact Klaxoon SAML Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.
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 Klaxoon SAML section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
Create a Microsoft Entra test user

Select Add user/group, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.

Configure Klaxoon SAML SSO
To configure single sign-on on Klaxoon SAML side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Klaxoon SAML support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
