To use the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) single sign-on (SSO) feature within the Datadog resource, you must set up an enterprise application. To add an enterprise application, you need one of these roles: Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal.
Use the following steps to set up the enterprise application:
-
Go to Azure portal. Select Microsoft Entra ID.
-
In the left pane, select Manage > Enterprise applications.
-
Select New Application.
-
In Add from the gallery, search for Datadog. Select the search result then select Add.
-
Once the app is created, go to properties from the side panel. Set User assignment required? to No, and select Save.
-
Go to Single sign-on from the side panel. Then select SAML.
-
Select Yes when prompted to save single sign-on settings.
The setup of single sign-on is now complete.
