Prerequisites
To get started, you need the following items:
- A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
- OfficeSpace Software single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for OfficeSpace Software
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with OfficeSpace Software using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you need to establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in OfficeSpace Software.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with OfficeSpace Software, perform the following steps:
- Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
- Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
- Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
- Configure OfficeSpace Software SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
Configure Microsoft Entra SSO
Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.
Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > OfficeSpace Software > Single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:
a. In the Sign on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
https://<company name>.officespacesoftware.com/users/sign_in/saml
b. In the Identifier (Entity ID) text box, type a URL using the following pattern:
<company name>.officespacesoftware.com
Note
These values aren't real. Update these values with the actual Sign-on URL and Identifier. Contact the OfficeSpace Software Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.
OfficeSpace Software application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes, whereas nameidentifier is mapped with user.userprincipalname. OfficeSpace Software application expects nameidentifier to be mapped with user.mail, so you need to edit the attribute mapping by clicking on Edit icon and change the attribute mapping.
In addition to above, OfficeSpace Software application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response which are shown below. These attributes are also prepopulated but you can review them as per your requirement.
Name Source Attribute email user.mail name user.displayname first_name user.givenname last_name user.surname In the SAML Signing Certificate section, select Edit button to open SAML Signing Certificate dialog.
