# Setup in SonarQube

This page explains how to set up SAML in SonarQube when using Microsoft Entra ID as the identity provider. This is the second step of SAML authentication setup with Microsoft Entra ID. For an overview of the complete setup, see [Introduction](/sonarqube-server/10.7/instance-administration/authentication/saml/ms-entra-id/introduction.md).

Proceed as follows:

1. Open MS Entra ID to prepare the copy-paste of single-sign-on settings in SonarQube.
2. Configure SAML in SonarQube.

## Open MS Entra ID <a href="#open-entra-id" id="open-entra-id"></a>

To prepare the copy-paste of single-sign-on settings in SonarQube:

1. In Microsoft Entra ID, go to **Identity** > **Applications** > **Enterprise applications** > **All applications and** select the SonarQube application.
2. On the application’s page, select **Single sign-on**. You will need to retrieve values related to sections **1**, **2**, and **4**. In section **2**, select **Edit** first to open the **Attributes & Claims** page.

4\. Save the configuration.

5\. Before enabling SAML authentication on SonarQube, you can verify that the configuration is correct by selecting **Test Configuration**. This will initiate a SAML login and return useful information about the SAML response obtained from the identity provider.

6\. Select **Enable configuration**.

7\. Check that the SonarQube login form now contains a SAML login button.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/10.7/instance-administration/authentication/saml/ms-entra-id/setup-in-sq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
