Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Couchbase Server - SSO

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Couchbase Server - SSO using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Couchbase Server - SSO.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Couchbase Server - SSO, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
    1. Create a Microsoft Entra ID test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
    2. Assign the Microsoft Entra ID test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
  2. Configure Couchbase Server - SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Create Couchbase Server - SSO test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Couchbase Server - SSO that is linked to the Microsoft Entra ID representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
