SSO with Entra ID: Skip login form and redirect directly to SAML authentication?

[marcela.uhrova]

Hi everyone,

I am using SSO authentication with Entra ID as the SAML identity provider. Currently, the behavior is as follows:

• If I am already signed in via Entra ID, I am automatically logged into the application (works perfectly).
• If I am not signed in, a login form appears where I need to click a SAML link first, and only then I am redirected to the Entra ID sign-in page.

Is it possible to remove this extra step, so that instead of clicking the SAML link, the Entra ID login page opens directly when I am not authenticated?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes it is possible using an “Identity Provider Redirector“. In your realm, click on “Authentication”. Then click on the “browser” flow. Set the “Identity Provider Redirector“ execution to “Required”. Click the little settings icon for “Identity Provider Redirector” and in the “Default Identity Provider” text box type in the alias of your identity provider.
