Initial setup

   Log in to Entra ID.
3. Click on +Add and select Enterprise Application from the dropdown menu.
   
4. Click on + Create your own application.
   
5. Give your app a proper name (such as FlippingBook Online or FlippingBook readers) and make sure that the option Integrate any other application you don't find in the gallery (Non-gallery) is selected. This should be the default option. Then press Create.
6. After the application has been created, select Single sign-on in the menu panel and select SAML as the sign-on method.

8. Press Save. When you return to the settings overview, press the Edit icon in the Attributes & Claims section.
   
9. Under Claim name, click on Unique User Identifier (Name ID).
   
10. In the Manage Claim screen, change the Source attribute to user.mail.
    
    Press Save, close the window, and close the Attributes & Claims window too to return to the SAML settings screen.
11. In the SAML Signing Certificate, press the Download link behind Federation Metadata XML.
    
    Send the downloaded XML file to our support team. We need it to finalize the setup.
