    1. Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
    2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
  2. Configure uniFLOW Online SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    1. Sign in to uniFLOW Online using the created test user - to test user sign-in on the application side.

    Identifier
    https://<tenant_domain_name>.eu.uniflowonline.com
    https://<tenant_domain_name>.uk.uniflowonline.com
    https://<tenant_domain_name>.us.uniflowonline.com

    https://<tenant_domain_name>.sg.uniflowonline.com
    https://<tenant_domain_name>.jp.uniflowonline.com

You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Azure portal or refer to the reply URL displayed in your uniFLOW Online tenant.

  6. uniFLOW Online application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes, whereas nameidentifier is mapped with user.userprincipalname. uniFLOW Online application expects nameidentifier to be mapped with user.objectid, so you need to edit the attribute mapping by clicking on Edit icon and change the attribute mapping.

    Screenshot shows the User Attributes pane with the edit icon highlighted.

  7. In addition to above, uniFLOW Online application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.

    Name Source Attribute
    displayname user.displayname
    nickname user.onpremisessamaccountname

    Note

    The user.onpremisessamaccountname attribute will contain a value only if your Microsoft Entra users are synced from a local Windows Active Directory.
