  • Article

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Getty Images with Microsoft Entra ID. Getty Images finds the perfect image for your next project from the world's best photo library of creative stock photos, vector art illustrations and stock photography. When you integrate Getty Images with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Getty Images in a test environment. Getty Images supports both SP and IDP initiated single sign-on and Just In Time user provisioning.

Note

Identifier of this application is a fixed string value so only one instance can be configured in one tenant.

Prerequisites

To integrate Microsoft Entra ID with Getty Images, you need:

Add application and assign a test user

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

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

    a. In the Identifier textbox, type the URL: https://gettyimages.com/

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

    Reply URL
    https://www.gettyimages.com/sign-in/sso/acs
    https://www.gettyimages.<Environment>/sign-in/sso/acs
    https://www.gettyimages.com.<Environment>/sign-in/sso/acs

  6. If you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode, then perform the following step:

    In the Sign on URL textbox, type the URL: https://www.gettyimages.in/sign-in/sso

    Note

    The Reply URL value is not real. Update this value with the actual Reply URL. Contact Getty Images support team to get the value. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

  7. Getty Images 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.

  8. In addition to above, Getty Images application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response, which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.

    Name Source Attribute
    groupid user.groups

    Note

    The groupid claim is a constant value which will be provided to you by Getty Images support team.

    Screenshot shows the Certificate download link.

Configure Getty Images SSO

To configure single sign-on on Getty Images side, you need to send the App Federation Metadata Url to Getty Images support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides. For more information, please refer this link.

Create Getty Images test user

In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in Getty Images. Getty Images supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There's no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in Getty Images, a new one is commonly created after authentication.

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

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

  • Go to Getty Images Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.

IDP initiated:

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

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you click the Getty Images tile in the My Apps, if configured in SP mode you would be redirected to the application sign-on page for initiating the login flow and if configured in IDP mode, you should be automatically signed in to the Getty Images for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
