This article explains the steps required to configure Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) to allow your users to sign into Digital Theatre+ using SAML 2 for Single Sign On

Pre-requisites

This set-up guide assumes that you already have the metadata.xml file from Digital Theatre+. 

If you don't already have this open a new request via https://sso.digitaltheatreplus.com

Step 1: Set up Entra ID  

  • Sign in to the Entra Admin Center using your administrator account.

  • Navigate to Enterprise applications. Then go to All applications.
