Create and assign Microsoft Entra test user

Follow the guidelines in the create and assign a user account quickstart to create a test user account called B.Simon.

Configure Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) SSO

To configure single sign-on on Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) side, you need to send the App Federation Metadata Url to Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) test user

In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML). Work with Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) support team to add the users in the Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) 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 using the My Apps portal.

When you select the Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML) for which you set up SSO. For more information about the My Apps portal, see Introduction to the My Apps.

Once you configure Lexmark Cloud Services (SAML), you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization's sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
