Create an application with an Azure sign-on login method
Set up SSO configurations
Use two main login methods
Description
Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication method that allows users to securely log in to different services using a single ID. Using SSO means a user doesn't have to sign in to every application. With SSO, they can access all needed applications without being required to authenticate using different credentials.
Such Microsoft Online business services as Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Azure require Azure AD for sign-in activities and for the sake of identity protection. When subscribed to Microsoft's online business service, you get Azure Active Directory with access to all free features.
Azure AD Seamless SSO automates the sign-on process for users who are on their devices connected to the corporate network. This feature enables users to log in to several applications with a single ID, which includes both SaaS and on-premises applications. This SSO simplifies the work with some processes for administrators by allowing them to add new users and services without the need to set up credentials or security groups for applications.
This article provides you with all the information you need to start using the Azure single sign-on template so all of your users can log in with their existing company accounts. It also has a regular login and registration workflow built in. The documentation will help you configure the last steps to get it up and running.

User login methods
Within this template there are two ways to login:
Standard login method: using an email and password.
Single sign-on login method: the one you have just configured after following the documentation.
Standard login
This way to log in is done using the email and password fields on the login page. New users can be created by clicking on the ‘Register new account’ and filling it out.
This user will be able to log in with their email and password.
Note: If you use the email address for this method, it cannot be re-used anymore for an SSO login.
Single sign-on login
The SSO login is processed by pressing the ‘Azure login’ button on the login page. The user will be redirected to the Azure SSO. There the user can log in with their corresponding account. After the first successful login, a new user will be created in the application.
