Microsoft Entra ID (ex Azure Active Directory) can serve as the identity provider to provide single-sign-on (SSO) user login to Bannernow.
Bannernow supports SSO via SAML, a standard in wide use by enterprises and companies to provide authentication services to products that otherwise require separate accounts and logins.
Setting up Microsoft Entra ID to use SSO for Bannernow takes about 10 minutes. There are two main steps involving the Azure and Bannernow web interfaces.
