Tutorial: Microsoft Entra single sign-on (SSO) integration with Klue

  • Article

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to integrate Klue with Microsoft Entra ID. When you integrate Klue with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

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.
  • Klue single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

  • Klue supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
  • Klue supports Just In Time user provisioning.

To configure the integration of Klue into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Klue from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type Klue in the search box.
  4. Select Klue from results panel and then add the app. Wait a few seconds while the app is added to your tenant.

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, assign roles, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Klue

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Klue 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 Klue.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Klue, perform the following steps:

  1. Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
  2. Configure Klue SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
    • Create Klue test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Klue that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
  3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.

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

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Klue > 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, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.

  5. On the Basic SAML Configuration section, if you wish to configure the application in IDP initiated mode, perform the following steps:

    a. In the Identifier text box, type a value using the following pattern: urn:klue:<Customer ID>

    b. In the Reply URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://app.klue.com/account/auth/saml/<Customer UUID>/callback

  6. Click Set additional URLs and perform the following step if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

    In the Sign-on URL text box, type a URL using the following pattern: https://app.klue.com/account/auth/saml/<Customer UUID>/

    Note

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

  7. Klue 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, Klue 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.

Assign the Microsoft Entra test user

In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use single sign-on by granting access to Klue.

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Klue.
  3. In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.

Configure Klue SSO

To configure single sign-on on Klue side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Base64) and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Klue support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Klue test user

In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in Klue. Klue supports just-in-time user provisioning, which is enabled by default. There is no action item for you in this section. If a user doesn't already exist in Klue, a new one is 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 Klue Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Klue 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 Klue 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 Klue 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 Klue for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure Klue you can enforce session control, which protects exfiltration and infiltration of your organization’s sensitive data in real time. Session control extends from Conditional Access. Learn how to enforce session control with Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps.
