Create an enterprise application for Coherent Spark
Since Coherent Spark uses the Service Provider-Initiated (SP-Initiated) Flow (reference Federation), you must create an Enterprise Application in Microsoft 365 to enable user access to Spark.
This guide explains how to add a link to Coherent Spark in Microsoft 365 apps (https://www.microsoft365.com/apps), My Apps (https://myapps.microsoft.com/), and across the entire Microsoft 365 environment. This ensures that users can seamlessly access the external Spark application without needing to search for or remember its URL.
Go to Microsoft Entra ID at https://entra.microsoft.com/#home.
In the left menu, select Enterprise Applications under the Applications section.
Click + New Application.
Click Create your own application.
Enter a name (e.g.
Coherent Spark).Select Integrate any other application you don’t find in the gallery (Non-gallery) and click Create.
Once created, go to the Single Sign-On section.
Choose Linked as the SSO method.
Enter your Spark URL in the format
https://spark.{environment}.coherent.global/{tenant}into the Sign on URL field.Click Save.
On the left pane, click Users and Groups.
Click + Add User/Group.
Select the Users or Groups who should see the link.
Click Assign.
Now, assigned users visiting Microsoft 365 or My Apps will see the external link to their Spark App.
Pin the external Coherent app to the Microsoft 365 sidebar
Users can also pin the app for quick access in Microsoft 365 sidebar.
Navigate to https://www.microsoft365.com/apps.
Click on All Apps.
Scroll down to Other Apps.
Find your Spark App.
Click on the three-dot menu and select Pin.
Your app will now appear on the Microsoft 365 sidebar for quick access.
