Entra ID NameID mapper

The Pointsharp Entra ID NameID Mapper is a custom extension designed to facilitate seamless integration between Pointsharp Identity Provider (IdP) and Microsoft Entra ID using SAML federation. This mapper enables the transformation and mapping of user attributes to the SAML NameID format required by Microsoft Entra ID tenants.

Purpose

When federating with Microsoft Entra ID, it is often necessary to provide the NameID in a specific format. The Pointsharp Entra ID NameID Mapper automates this process, ensuring that the correct attribute from the user profile is transformed and delivered in the expected format for Entra ID.

Configuration
