Hello @jwhitehouse, I started a new thread here:

Can you provide any advice? I’ve attached a screen capture of the fields in Azure I need. The Identifier (Entity ID) from the Nexus IQ SAML configuration page works fine, but I’ve tried many things for the Reply URL and can’t find the correct setting. I also don’t know if I need the Sign on URL is needed.
