# How Do I Configure SSO for Azure AD?

You can set up authentication via SAML for Azure AD by following the in-app instructions on the [SSO settings page](https://app.archera.ai/settings?tab=sso). For the general, provider-agnostic setup flow, see [Single Sign-On (SSO)](/help-center/sign-in-and-security/single-sign-on-sso.md).

## Setup Steps

### Step 1: Create an Azure AD Application

Create an application in Azure Active Directory by following [Microsoft's enterprise app setup instructions](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/manage-apps/add-application-portal).

### Step 2: Provide Credentials to Archera

Provide the following to Archera via the website forms:

* Login URL
* Azure AD Identifier

### Step 3: Update Azure Application Configuration

Update your application with the **"Audience URI"** and **"Assertion Consumer Service URL"** in the "Basic SAML Configuration" section.

## Next Steps

All these instructions are also included in the in-app walkthrough.

At this point Azure AD should be configured to enable your team to login to Archera via SSO.

Please reach out to <support@archera.ai> if you have any questions or encounter any issues during the process.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.archera.ai/help-center/sign-in-and-security/how-do-i-configure-sso-for-azure-ad.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
