If you need to create a user manually, contact Allbound SSO support team.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.

SP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to Allbound SSO Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Allbound SSO Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

  • Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the Allbound SSO for which you set up the SSO.

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Allbound SSO tile in the My Apps, if configured in SP mode you would be redirected to the application sign on page for initiating the login flow and if configured in IDP mode, you should be automatically signed in to the Allbound SSO for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
