This guide walks through how to configure SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) for Re-Leased using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD). Complete this setup in Azure AD first, then enter the details in Re-Leased's Manage Single Sign On settings.


Step 1: Add Re-Leased to Azure Active Directory

  1. Log in to the Microsoft Azure Portal and navigate to Azure Active Directory > Enterprise Applications.

  1. Click New Application, then Create your own application.

  2. Select Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery), name it Re-Leased, and click Create.

  3. Select the Single sign-on blade and choose SAML.


Step 2: Basic SAML Configuration

  1. Click Edit under Step 1 (Basic SAML Configuration).

  2. Using the values from Re-Leased's Manage Single Sign On settings, fill in:

    • Re-Leased Audience URI → Azure Identifier (Entity ID)

    • Re-Leased ACS URL → Azure Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL)

    • Re-Leased Sign-on URL → Azure Sign on URL (Optional)

  3. Leave all other fields empty, click Save, then close the configuration blade.

  2. Open the .cer file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and copy the full contents, including the BEGIN/END CERTIFICATE lines.

  3. Paste this into the SAML Public Key field in Re-Leased's Manage Single Sign On settings.
