SSO with SAP APIM and Power Platform

Introduction

In episode 211 of our SAP on Azure video podcast we talk about Single Sign-On with SAP API Management and Power Platform.

A few months ago we had Vinayak from SAP on the show to talk about SAP API Management on the SAP Business Technology Platform. We talked about several Single Sign-On scenarios with Entra ID (or Azure Active Directory as it was called before).

Then we also had Martin with us a few weeks back where he talked about Single Sign-On to Power Platform!

Well, today will be a great episode because we bring both colleagues together to talk about Single Sign-On from SAP via SAP Business Technology Platform API Management and Power Platform.
