Prerequisites

To get started, you need the following items:

Scenario description

In this article, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

• Trelica supports IDP-initiated SSO.
• Trelica supports just-in-time user provisioning.

Note

Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.

Add Trelica from the gallery

To configure the integration of Trelica into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Trelica from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

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

   1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
   2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
2. Configure Trelica SSO to configure the single sign-on settings on the application side.
   1. Create a Trelica test user to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Trelica. This counterpart is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of the user.
