Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Kno2fy

In this article, you learn how to integrate Kno2fy with Microsoft Entra ID. Kno2fy empowers healthcare organizations to send, receive, and find patient information across the healthcare ecosystem with just a few quick clicks. When you integrate Kno2fy with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Kno2fy.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Kno2fy with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Kno2fy in a test environment. Kno2fy supports only SP initiated single sign-on.

Note

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

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Kno2fy, you need:

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Kno2fy application from the Microsoft Entra gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.

Add Kno2fy from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Kno2fy. For more information on how to add application from the gallery, see the Quickstart: Add application from the gallery.

Create and assign Microsoft Entra test user

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

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, and assign roles. The wizard also provides a link to the single sign-on configuration pane. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards..
