Microsoft Entra SSO integration with CAREERSHIP

In this article, you learn how to integrate CAREERSHIP with Microsoft Entra ID. CAREERSHIP is the NO.1 LMS (LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM) for Enterprises. It is an LMS that has continued to evolve while responding to the demands of Japan companies, and while it is high performance and multi-functional, it is also easy to use at the same time. When you integrate CAREERSHIP with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

You configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for CAREERSHIP in a test environment. CAREERSHIP supports SP initiated single sign-on.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with CAREERSHIP, you need:

• A Microsoft Entra user account. If you don't already have one, you can Create an account for free.
• One of the following roles: Application Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, or Application Owner.
• A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
• CAREERSHIP single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the CAREERSHIP 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 CAREERSHIP from the Microsoft Entra gallery

Add CAREERSHIP from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with CAREERSHIP. 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

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..
