Testing
You are now at a point we can start testing but a user in your Azure AD must be granted access to your RedLine13.
* If you were as excited as I was to start testing you just clicked the test button and realized quickly that you have not granted yourself access to RedLIne13 and will get this error
Adding Users
Go back to Azure AD and select Users and Groups from the left panel
Click + Add user/group
Select ‘None Selected’
Then select a User (yourself for testing)
Click blue ‘Select’ button to continue
Click blue ‘Assign’ button to continue the process
User is now listed with access
Now we can go back to ‘Single Sign-On’
- Scroll down and click ‘Test’
- Click ‘Sign in as current user’
