Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Javelo
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Javelo with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Javelo with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:
- Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Javelo.

- Javelo single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
- Along with Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator can also add or manage applications in Microsoft Entra ID. For more information, see Azure built-in roles.
Scenario description
In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.
- Javelo supports SP initiated SSO.
- Javelo 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 Javelo from the gallery
To configure the integration of Javelo into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Javelo from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
- Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
- Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
- In the Add from the gallery section, type Javelo in the search box.
