To configure Microsoft Entra integration with LearnUpon, you need the following items:

  • A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a Microsoft Entra environment, you can get a free account.
  • LearnUpon single sign-on enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on in a test environment.

  • LearnUpon supports IDP initiated SSO.

  • LearnUpon 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.

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