Processing Steps

  1. The user initiates SSO.

  2. Microsoft Graph validates the user’s credentials. Upon successful authentication, user attributes and group memberships are retrieved from Microsoft Graph.

  3. The PingFederate IdP server generates an assertion containing the user’s attributes and passes it to the SP application through the browser.
