Pull Request Overview

This PR improves the clarity of the AlexisHR SSO tutorial documentation by addressing customer confusion around temporary mock values and SAML certificate handling. The changes restructure the configuration process to make it clearer that users need to start with placeholder values, configure AlexisHR, and then return to update Microsoft Entra ID with real values.

Key changes:

• Restructured the SSO configuration workflow to clearly separate initial mock setup from final configuration with real values
• Added explicit guidance on handling temporary placeholder values and when to replace them
• Improved clarity around SAML certificate requirements and formatting
