      2. Enter a domain name. This must be unique to you (we will verify that it is available)
        Alphanumeric (numbers and/or letters)
        Lower case
        No special characters (!@£$%^&*()_-+=)
        No spaces
        4-40 characters in length

      7. In the SAML Certificates section of Azure ID, copy the App Federation Metadata Url

      Add users

      1. Add users / groups to your Enterprise Application from the Azure portal.
      2. Invite users with their AD emails to IRIS from the IRIS account dashboard. To ensure that new users can login with SSO without intially logging in with an email and password, check "Users will only be able to login with SSO" before inviting users.

      Test Single Sign-On


      You can now test that single sign-on has been configured correctly from the Single sign-on page for your enterprise application by clicking the "Test this application" tab and following the authentication flow.
