Scenario description

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

Note

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

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

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, assign roles, and walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.
