Amazon Business is a purchasing solution for small businesses (see https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/what-is-amazon-business). You can configure your Amazon Business account for Single Sign-On (SSO) through Identity as a Service.
Note: This guide was tested using previous versions of Identity as a Service 5.34 and Amazon Business version 28.9.0.451. Other versions of Amazon Business may require integration and configuration steps that differ from those documented in this procedure. For newer versions of Amazon Business, this integration guide may be used as an initial approach for integrating Amazon Business. In the event of other issues, contact support@entrust.com for assistance.
