  1. Record the Cognito Domain from your User Pool settings

  1. In Azure Portal, configure the following SAML parameters:
    • Identifier (Entity ID): Format as urn:amazon:cognito:sp:{User pool ID}
    • Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL): Format as {Cognito domain}/saml2/idpresponse
  2. Save your configuration changes
