Custom Authentication - Azure | Admin Guide - Zoho One

Custom authentication with Microsoft Entra ID

  1. Sign in to Microsoft Azure portal as an admin.
  2. Click Microsoft Entra ID.
  3. Click Enterprise applications in the left navigation menu.
  4. Click New Application
  5. Type 'Zoho One' under the Search application box.
  6. Select Zoho One, then click Create in the bottom-right corner.
  7. Go back to Enterprise applications, then click Zoho One.
  8. Click Set up single sign-on , then choose SAML.
  9. Edit Basic SAML Configuration, then do the following:
    1. Copy and enter the following details based on the Data Center (DC) your Zoho One account is present in:
      Note: Make a note of the last part of the Assertion Consumer Service (ACS) URL found in Zoho One's Custom Authentication page. This is your <ZOID>, and will be used in the Sign-on URL. For example, if your ACS URL was "https://accounts.zoho.com/signin/samlsp/71*****60", your <ZOID> would be 71*****60.
