Scenario description

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

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

To configure the integration of Snackmagic into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Snackmagic 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, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Snackmagic 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 Snackmagic for which you set up the SSO.
