title: Does the Windows Azure AD SAML integration with Salesforce support Service Provider-initiated SSO?
body: <p>I have successfully set up SSO integration between Azure AD and Salesforce as described in <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/dn308593.aspx" rel="nofollow">this article</a>.  </p>
  
  <p>With this configuration, users must know to go to the Azure AD access panel in order to log in to Salesforce. This appears to be standard Identity Provider-initiated SSO using SAML.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to use Service Provider-initiated SSO with Azure AD instead. I'd like users to be able to open a deep-linked Salesforce URL, be redirected to the Azure AD login page, and then be redirected back to the originally requested URL. Is this possible?</p>
