Testing & Validating Your SSO Configuration (Microsoft Entra)

1. Verify Attribute Mapping

1. In Microsoft Entra, go to your SSO Configuration.

2. Confirm that the following attributes are present exactly as written and have valid, non-null values:

   • firstName

   • lastName

   • email

3. Make sure:

   • All attributes are correctly mapped as listed above.

   • No attributes have a namespace defined.

2. Test Using a User Account

1. Use a test account or your own account to initiate the SSO process.

2. Entry users must use IdP-Initiated Login, meaning they should launch SnippetSentry directly from their MyApps page in Microsoft Entra.

3. Watch for any attribute-related validation errors during login.

3. Review Logs for Errors

1. Access diagnostic logs in Microsoft Entra.

2. Look for error entries related to SSO, such as:

   • Missing or mismatched attributes

   • Validation failures

3. Note any error details for further troubleshooting.

4. Adjust Configuration & Retest

1. Based on log findings, update the attribute mapping or other relevant SSO settings.

2. Save changes.

3. Retest using a user account to confirm the issue is resolved.

Additional Notes

• Deprecation Notice: The phone number field will not be required in future SnippetSentry registration processes. Make sure your configuration is prepared for this update.

• Temporary Workarounds: If certain attributes (e.g., mobilePhone) are unavailable, you can temporarily use an alternative field such as businessPhone until updates are rolled out.
