TechSafe® Entra ID SSO for Solve

As we also strive to deliver the simplest and most secure end user experience, we have released via the Microsoft enterprise application gallery the Solve Portal SSO application.

Why we have used the Microsoft application gallery.

Applications have followed the Microsoft approval process and are tested and published by Microsoft.
Pre integration: Applications in the Microsoft Application Gallery are pre integrated with Microsoft Entra ID, providing a streamlined deployment and configuration process for single sign-on (SSO).
Ease of Configuration: Gallery applications offer a simplified and minimal configuration process, as most of the generic settings are already created in Azure for the users.
Support and Documentation: Gallery applications come with step-by-step configuration tutorials and support, making it easier for organizations to onboard these applications
