Enterprise applications are software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps that are pre-integrated with Microsoft Entra ID. These apps support access management and single sign-on (SSO). You can find these apps in the Microsoft Entra application gallery, which includes a wide range of pre-integrated SaaS applications. This article uses the application named Microsoft Entra SAML Toolkit as an example, but the concepts apply for most enterprise applications in the gallery.
