How to setup Azure SAML with Symbiant
Critical Note #
With single sign on, the login user name is case sensitive.
Ensure the users email address match the correct case in the active directory when you add users.
(e.g. James.Bond@symbiant.uk is different to james.bond@symbiant.uk)
When you add a user in Symbiant it creates the SAML login identity using the users email address.
If you get the case wrong you will need to remove the account and re-add it.
