-## Entra ID SAML Enterprise App Auth using Dex
-### Configure a new Entra ID Enterprise App
-
-1. From the `Microsoft Entra ID` > `Enterprise applications` menu, choose `+ New application`
-2. Select `Non-gallery application`
-3. Enter a `Name` for the application (e.g. `Argo CD`), then choose `Add`
-4. Once the application is created, open it from the `Enterprise applications` menu.
-5. From the `Users and groups` menu of the app, add any users or groups requiring access to the service.
-   ![Azure Enterprise SAML Users](../../assets/azure-enterprise-users.png "Azure Enterprise SAML Users")
-6. From the `Single sign-on` menu, edit the `Basic SAML Configuration` section as follows (replacing `my-argo-cd-url` with your Argo URL):
-      - **Identifier (Entity ID):** https://`<my-argo-cd-url>`/api/dex/callback
-      - **Reply URL (Assertion Consumer Service URL):** https://`<my-argo-cd-url>`/api/dex/callback
-      - **Sign on URL:** https://`<my-argo-cd-url>`/auth/login
-      - **Relay State:** `<empty>`
-      - **Logout Url:** `<empty>`
-      ![Azure Enterprise SAML URLs](../../assets/azure-enterprise-saml-urls.png "Azure Enterprise SAML URLs")
-7. From the `Single sign-on` menu, edit the `User Attributes & Claims` section to create the following claims:
-      - `+ Add new claim` | **Name:** email | **Source:** Attribute | **Source attribute:** user.mail
-      - `+ Add group claim` | **Which groups:** All groups | **Source attribute:** Group ID | **Customize:** True | **Name:** Group | **Namespace:** `<empty>` | **Emit groups as role claims:** False
-      - *Note: The `Unique User Identifier` required claim can be left as the default `user.userprincipalname`*
-      ![Azure Enterprise SAML Claims](../../assets/azure-enterprise-claims.png "Azure Enterprise SAML Claims")
-8. From the `Single sign-on` menu, download the SAML Signing Certificate (Base64)
-      - Base64 encode the contents of the downloaded certificate file, for example:
-      - `$ cat ArgoCD.cer | base64`
-      - *Keep a copy of the encoded output to be used in the next section.*
-9. From the `Single sign-on` menu, copy the `Login URL` parameter, to be used in the next section.
-
-### Configure Argo to use the new Entra ID Enterprise App
-
-1. Edit `argocd-cm` and add the following `dex.config` to the data section, replacing the `caData`, `my-argo-cd-url` and `my-login-url` your values from the Entra ID App:
-
-            data:
-              url: https://my-argo-cd-url

-      - Use Entra ID `Group IDs` for assigning roles.
-      - See [RBAC Configurations](../rbac.md) for more detailed scenarios.
