+# Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Serenity Connect
+
+In this tutorial, you learn how to integrate Serenity Connect with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Serenity Connect with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:
+
+* Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Serenity Connect.
+* Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Serenity Connect with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
+* Manage your accounts in one central location.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Serenity Connect, you need:
+
+* A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/).
+* Serenity Connect single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
+
+## Scenario description
+
+In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.
+
+* Serenity Connect supports **SP** initiated SSO.
+
+## Adding Serenity Connect from the gallery
+
+To configure the integration of Serenity Connect into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Serenity Connect from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
+
+1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least a [Cloud Application Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#cloud-application-administrator).
+1. Browse to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **New application**.
+1. In the **Add from the gallery** section, type **Serenity Connect** in the search box.
+1. Select **Serenity Connect** from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.
+
+Alternatively, you can also use the [Enterprise App Configuration Wizard](https://portal.office.com/AdminPortal/home?Q=Docs#/azureadappintegration). In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, assign roles, and walk through the SSO configuration as well.

+
+## Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Serenity Connect
+
+Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Serenity Connect 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 Serenity Connect.
+
+To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Serenity Connect, perform the following steps:
+
+1. **[Configure Microsoft Entra SSO](#configure-microsoft-entra-sso)** - to enable your users to use this feature.
+    1. **[Create a Microsoft Entra ID test user](#create-a-microsoft-entra-id-test-user)** - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
+    1. **[Assign the Microsoft Entra ID test user](#assign-the-microsoft-entra-id-test-user)** - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
+1. **[Configure Serenity Connect SSO](#configure-serenity-connect-sso)** - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
+    1. **[Create Serenity Connect test user](#create-serenity-connect-test-user)** - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Serenity Connect that is linked to the Microsoft Entra ID representation of user.
+1. **[Test SSO](#test-sso)** - to verify whether the configuration works.
+
+## Configure Microsoft Entra SSO
+
+Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO in the Microsoft Entra admin center.

+### Create a Microsoft Entra ID test user
+
+In this section, you'll create a test user in the Microsoft Entra admin center called B.Simon.
+
+1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least a [User Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#user-administrator).
+1. Browse to **Identity** > **Users** > **All users**.

+
+1. Sign in to the [Microsoft Entra admin center](https://entra.microsoft.com) as at least a [Cloud Application Administrator](../roles/permissions-reference.md#cloud-application-administrator).

+   1. In the **Add Assignment** dialog, click the **Assign** button.
+
+## Configure Serenity Connect SSO
+
+To configure single sign-on on **Serenity Connect** side, you need to send the **App Federation Metadata Url** to [Serenity Connect support team](mailto:[email protected]). They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
+
+### Create Serenity Connect test user
+
+In this section, you create a user called B.Simon in Serenity Connect. Work with [Serenity Connect support team](mailto:[email protected]) to add the users in the Serenity Connect platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.
+
+## Test SSO 
+
+In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
+ 
+* Click on **Test this application** in Microsoft Entra admin center. This will redirect to Serenity Connect Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
+ 
+* Go to Serenity Connect Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
+ 
+* You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Serenity Connect tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Serenity Connect Sign-on URL. For more information about the My Apps, see [Introduction to the My Apps](../user-help/my-apps-portal-end-user-access.md).
+
+## Next Steps
+
+Once you configure Serenity Connect you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization's sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. [Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps](/cloud-app-security/proxy-deployment-any-app)
