    1. Identifier should be: urn:auth0:salto:REPLACE_ME

    2. Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL) should be: https://auth.salto.io/login/callback?connection=REPLACE_ME

      1. REPLACE_ME should be replaced with the connection name you got from Salto, or you can use your domain name with hyphens instead of dots, e.g.:

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issue during the process, or a generic access denied message after authenticating through Microsoft Entra ID, consult with Salto support team (support@salto.io).

Please note, the Org Admin user in Salto must invite other users to the org, otherwise when new users log in via SSO they will not be able to access the Salto application.

See this article about inviting members for more information:
