Below is a high‑level, end‑to‑end guide to the four pieces you asked about – how they fit together in Azure Databricks, what they’re used for, and the key steps needed to get them working in production.
- SSO lets users authenticate once (e.g., via Azure AD, Okta, ADFS) and then automatically get access to the Databricks workspace, notebooks, jobs, and REST APIs without re‑entering credentials.
- In Azure Databricks the SSO flow is built on SAML 2.0 (or OpenID Connect for Azure AD).
