What changes for you when we switch qwikinow.de to ariadne.cloud

Modified on Wed, 14 Oct at 4:56 PM

After the switch, you reach Ariadne at a new address, for example company.ariadne.cloud instead of company.qwikinow.de. With a few simple steps, your company login, user synchronization, scripts and AI tools keep running without interruption.


Good to know: In the browser, you don't need to do anything: the old address redirects automatically, so bookmarks and links in emails keep working.


Some systems don't follow the redirect for security reasons. For those, enter the new address.

Important: For this switch, you need the support of your IT team. It's best to talk to them now, because some changes must be made before the switch date on 22 October 2026.

What do you need to do for each access method?

Prepare your company login (SAML/OIDC) before the switch date

Company login

SAML SSO and OIDC SSO

Before 22 Oct 2026

Add the new address now, in addition to the old one. Nothing changes until the switch, and your company login keeps working seamlessly afterwards.

How to proceed

  • For SAML, add the new Reply URL (ACS URL) in addition to the old one.
  • For OIDC, add the new Redirect URI in addition to the old one: https://<company>.ariadne.cloud/bin/login
  • In Entra ID, you find the SAML Reply URL under Basic SAML Configuration. Enter https://<company>.ariadne.cloud/saml/sp/consume there and mark it as default.
  • Remove the old address only after the switch has worked.
  • The certificate stays the same. You don't need to download or replace anything.
Warning: Do not change the Identifier (Entity ID), even if it still contains qwikinow.de. Ariadne still expects exactly the value that is entered.
Important: If you don't add the new address in time, the company login fails after the switch. The redirect doesn't help in this case.

Adjust user synchronization (SCIM) on the switch date

User synchronization

SCIM provisioning

On 22 Oct 2026

This way, new employees keep being created automatically and departed employees keep being deactivated. Switch the synchronization on the switch date, within a few days at the latest.

How to proceed

  • Change the Tenant URL to the new address.
  • Re-enter the Secret Token.
  • Click Test Connection to check the connection.
  • You don't need to resynchronize all users afterwards.
Important: If you don't make the change, synchronization fails. New employees are then not created and departed employees are not deactivated. Entra keeps retrying for a while and stops the synchronization completely after several weeks of errors.

Keep scripts, Power BI and integrations running

API clients

Scripts, Power BI, integrations

On 22 Oct 2026

You only need to adjust the base URL. Your API token stays valid, so you don't need to create a new one.

What happens if you don't adjust the address

  • Power BI doesn't follow the redirect at all. Scheduled refreshes fail until the address is adjusted.
  • Other programs follow the redirect but lose the access token along the way and report “not authorized”.
Good to know: “Not authorized” looks like a broken token, but it is only caused by the old address. The token itself stays valid.

Reconnect your AI tools (MCP) after the switch

MCP connectors

ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot Studio

On 22 Oct 2026

So your teams can keep using their AI tools with Ariadne knowledge: the admin changes the address, and each user reconnects once.

How to proceed

  • The admin of the AI tool changes the MCP server URL to the new address.
  • Afterwards, each user re-authorizes once (OAuth re-authorization).
Important: If you don't make the change, the AI tool reports “Login failed”.
