Add Bonusly Information to Microsoft Entra

  1. From your SAML page in Bonusly, copy the Consumer URL and the SP Issuer. (The Consumer URL is always of the form: https://bonus.ly/saml/APP_ID/consume)

  2. Next, head to the Basic SAML Configuration section in Microsoft Entra, fill in the information, and save it!

    1. Identifier (Entity ID): a unique string identifying the provider issuing a SAML request. This is the SP Issuer you have copied from the previous step.

    2. Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): the Consumer URL you copied from your SAML page in the previous step.

Test it out!

  • IdP-initiated authentication should now work.

  • SP-initiated authentication can be tested by logging out and then visiting the URL https://bonus.ly/saml/APP_ID/index

    • Make sure you replace APP_ID from the above link with the App ID from the SAML Integration page in Bonusly!

Restricting Login Methods

To restrict to SAML SSO only:

  1. Scroll down to "Security" and select the check box to only allow users to login via single sign on.
    ​
