How to Integrate Vultr Single Sign-On with Microsoft Entra ID

Single Sign-On (SSO) is a service that lets you authenticate to multiple websites and applications using one set of login credentials. SSO eliminates the need for multiple logins, hence providing a better user experience. Vultr SSO integrates well with Microsoft Entra ID, a cloud-based identity and access management service.

Follow this guide to integrate Vultr SSO with Microsoft Entra ID using the Vultr Console.
