To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with LifeSight, perform the following steps:

1. Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
   1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
   2. Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
2. Configure LifeSight SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
   1. Create LifeSight test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in LifeSight that's linked to the Microsoft Entra ID representation of user.
3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
