Microsoft Entra SSO integration with ChartDesk SSO

  • Article

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate ChartDesk SSO with Microsoft Entra ID. ChartDesk SSO allows your users to sign in to ChartDesk using Microsoft Entra credentials. When you integrate ChartDesk SSO with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for ChartDesk SSO in a test environment. ChartDesk SSO supports IDP initiated single sign-on.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with ChartDesk SSO, you need:

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the ChartDesk SSO 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 ChartDesk SSO from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with ChartDesk SSO. 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 > ChartDesk SSO > 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.

    Screenshot shows how to edit Basic SAML Configuration.

  5. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, perform the following steps:

    a. In the Identifier textbox, type a URL using one of the following patterns:

    Identifier
    https://<externaltenantid>.staging-api.chartdesk.net/saml/metadata
    https://<externaltenantid>.prod-api.chartdesk.net/saml/metadata
    https://<externaltenantid>.prod-api.chartdesk.de/saml/metadata

    b. In the Reply URL textbox, type a URL using one of the following patterns:

    Reply URL
    https://<externaltenantid>.staging-api.chartdesk.net/saml/consume
    https://<externaltenantid>.prod-api.chartdesk.net/saml/consume
    https://<externaltenantid>.prod-api.chartdesk.de/saml/consume

    Note

    These values are not the real. Update these values with the actual Identifier and Reply URL. Contact ChartDesk SSO Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

  6. On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, click copy button to copy App Federation Metadata Url and save it on your computer.

    Screenshot shows the Certificate download link.

Configure ChartDesk SSO

To configure single sign-on on ChartDesk SSO side, you need to send the App Federation Metadata Url to ChartDesk SSO support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create ChartDesk SSO test user

In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in ChartDesk SSO. Work with ChartDesk SSO support team to add the users in the ChartDesk SSO platform. Users must be created and activated before you use single sign-on.

Test SSO

In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.

  • Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the ChartDesk SSO for which you set up the SSO.

  • You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the ChartDesk SSO tile in the My Apps, you should be automatically signed in to the ChartDesk SSO for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
