Tutorial: Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Oneteam

  • Article

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

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to Oneteam.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed-in to Oneteam 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.
  • Oneteam single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on in a test environment.

  • Oneteam supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.

  • Oneteam supports Just In Time user provisioning.

To configure the integration of Oneteam into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Oneteam 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 Oneteam in the search box.
  4. Select Oneteam 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 Oneteam

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Oneteam 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 Oneteam.

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

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

Configure Oneteam SSO

To configure single sign-on on Oneteam side, you need to send the downloaded Federation Metadata XML and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Oneteam support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.

Create Oneteam test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Oneteam. Oneteam 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 Oneteam, a new one is created after authentication.

Note

If you need to create a user manually, you can raise the support ticket with Oneteam support team.

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 Oneteam Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Oneteam 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 Oneteam 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 Oneteam 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 Oneteam for which you set up the SSO. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.

Next steps

Once you configure Oneteam 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 Cloud App Security.
