Creating the Azure AD App

  1. Click on Enterprise Applications on the left panel, and click on + New application on the top.



  1. Click on Non-gallery application to create a new application that is not already present in the gallery.


  1. Provide a name to your app, for example, “test-sso,” and click on Add.
