Juniper Websites: How do I set up single sign-on (SSO) for my website (Microsoft Azure Active Directory)?

Overview

This article explains setting up single sign-on (SSO) for your school website. Enabling single sign-on allows users to log into your Juniper Website with their Microsoft credentials. The configuration involves two steps, each explained below. The first step involves some configuration activities in Microsoft Azure Active Directory (AD). The second step involves configuration in Juniper Websites.
