Enterprise SAML 2.0 Single Sign-On with Microsoft Entra ID

While modern SPAs and mobile apps use OpenID Connect (JWTs), thousands of enterprise business applications (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, SAP) authenticate via XML-based SAML 2.0 Assertions. This portal acts as your dedicated SAML Service Provider (SP).

How SAML 2.0 Web SSO Works: The 4 Protocol Steps

1

SP-Initiated Request

User visits our portal. SP creates a deflated Base64 <samlp:AuthnRequest> and redirects the browser to Microsoft Entra ID.

2

Entra ID Authentication

User authenticates with Microsoft credentials, MFA, and Conditional Access policies on login.microsoftonline.com.

3

SAMLResponse POST

Entra ID mints an XML Assertion, signs it with its private X.509 key, and renders an auto-submitting HTML form posting to our /saml/acs URL.

4

Assertion Validation

Our ACS endpoint verifies the XML digital signature against Microsoft's certificate, reads user claims, and creates the authenticated session.
