I'm trying to set up a connection between Jira and Azure AD.  I can't make sense of the Atlassian instructions but I found this https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-Access-articles/How-To-Atlassian-Access-Configure-SAML-SSO-Authentication/ba-p/1949816 which looks like what I'm seeing.  When I started trying to set up the application in Azure I got to this https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/saas-apps/atlassian-cloud-tutorial#configure-azure-ad-with-atlassian-cloud-sso and I've managed that bit OK but immediately after selecting Azure AD as my provider in Atlassian Access I am asked for the Directory Name.  What is that?  Where do I find it?

This is typical of their documentation really.  They use a term which implies you should be getting it somewhere else - at no point does it say that you're just supposed to invent one.
