Download the Certificate (Base 64) and open it via notepad. Then copy it inside the notepad.
We will paste it to the SAML configuration on Single Connect as SAML X509 Certf. Key

- Go to **Step 4** for Single Connect Configurations.

We will copy the above configurations and paste them as the Single Connect SAML configuration. The logout URL in Azure will be pasted as the **Login Remote URL** in the SAML configuration. The Azure AD Identifier will be pasted as **SAML Entity ID in SAML** in the SAML configuration.

-
  Go to Single Connect **Properties**.

Copy the Homepage URL and paste it as the **SAML URL** in the Single Connect SAML configuration.

-
  At last, enter the Azure portal URL ([https://aad.portal.azure.com](https://aad.portal.azure.com)) as **the SAML Remote URL** in the SAML configuration in Single Connect.


At the end of the configuration, the Singe Connect screen below will be displayed.

A new, left side page will open to ask for the user who will log in to the application. If this user exists in the Single Connect application, you will log in with no need for credentials.
