As you click 'Setup' a new view opens which has five different fields for editing:

Fields explained below

Every single one of these fields are found in https://portal.azure.com/ after you have created an Application in the portal. While creating the application we advise you to stay on the Silverbucket's SSO page as well - these two go hand-in-hand when setting up your SSO solution.

1) Log into portal.azure.com
2) Open the sidebar located left of the screen and choose 'Azure Active Directory'
The sidebar might look different depending on your account and rights

Complete the action by clicking 'Register' in Azure's portal, located bottom-left.

Your application is now created in Azure's portal - now we need to link that application as your SSO solution with Silverbucket.

- Click on the 'New client secret'. Fill in the details:

When the secret is created make sure you stay on the page or copy it to your clipboard straight away


Make sure you copy the secret value to clipboar. Right after, fill in the Secret Key's value as Silverbucket's 'Authorization Secret' field


Save the changes in Silverbucket, log out of the system and test if you can log into Silverbucket by using the 'Log in using organizational account'

You should be forwarded into Microsoft's credentials page which - if credentials are entered correctly - allows you to log into your Silverbucket environment.

If your login results in an error message please do check that the setup was done correctly and your credentials were correct. If not, please do refer to the Microsoft's article regarding OAuth 2.0 for example.



Optional settings



- Allowed domains in Silverbucket is an optional field

- You can use the 'User assignment' option in Azure's portal for your application if you wish to separately allow certain people to use the SSO. This can be done in the 'Enterprise Applications' > Silverbucket > Add user.
