  • Article

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Radiant IOT Portal with Microsoft Entra ID. Radiant's IOT Portal is used by federal and commercial customers for asset tracking and accountability solutions based on IOT tracking technologies. When you integrate Radiant IOT Portal with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Radiant IOT Portal.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Radiant IOT Portal with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts in one central location.

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Radiant IOT Portal in a test environment. Radiant IOT Portal supports SP initiated single sign-on and Just In Time user provisioning.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Radiant IOT Portal, you need:

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Radiant IOT Portal application from the Microsoft Entra gallery. You need a test user account to assign to the application and test the single sign-on configuration.

Add Radiant IOT Portal from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Radiant IOT Portal. For more information on how to add application from the gallery, see the Quickstart: Add application from the gallery.

Create and assign Microsoft Entra test user

Follow the guidelines in the create and assign a user account article to create a test user account called B.Simon.

Alternatively, you can also use the Enterprise App Configuration Wizard. In this wizard, you can add an application to your tenant, add users/groups to the app, and assign roles. The wizard also provides a link to the single sign-on configuration pane. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards..

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Complete the following steps to enable Microsoft Entra single sign-on.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Radiant IOT Portal > Single sign-on.

  3. On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.

  4. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

    c. In the Sign on URL textbox, type a URL using the following pattern: https://<SUBDOMAIN>.radiantrfid.com/VATPortal/?cn=<CustomerName>&id=<ID>

    These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign on URL. Contact Radiant IOT Portal support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

  6. Radiant IOT Portal 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.

  • Click on Test this application, this will redirect to Radiant IOT Portal Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Radiant IOT Portal Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
