How to enable Office 365 to work as Identity Provider

Question

I'm trying to set up my application to use Office 365 as Identity Provider for Single Sign On but I can't find specific instructions to do so.

Answer 1

First of all, you are not going to use "Office 365" as your identity provider: you need to look at Azure Active Directory, which is the identity provider behind all Microsoft cloud services (including Office 365).

That said, the specifics heavily depend on where you want to perform SSO (i.e., which application/service/system); here are some random examples:

https://www.ge.com/digital/documentation/apm-classic/t_apm_sso_configure_azure_ad_as_idp.html

Basically, it all boils down to setting up a SAML federation; but, as I said, the specific steps vary with each application.
