Microsoft Entra SSO integration with Adstream

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Adstream with Microsoft Entra ID. Adstream is a content management system that provides the ability for multiple teams to collaborate on assets and distribute content. When you integrate Adstream with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Adstream in a test environment. Adstream supports only SP initiated single sign-on.

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 Adstream, you need:

• A Microsoft Entra user account. If you don't already have one, you can Create an account for free.
• One of the following roles: Global Administrator, Cloud Application Administrator, Application Administrator, or owner of the service principal.
• A Microsoft Entra subscription. If you don't have a subscription, you can get a free account.
• Adstream single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.

Add application and assign a test user

Before you begin the process of configuring single sign-on, you need to add the Adstream 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 Adstream from the Microsoft Entra gallery

Add Adstream from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Adstream. 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.

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

   a. In the Reply URL textbox, type the URL: https://msft.adstream.com/saml/assert

   b. In the Sign on URL textbox, type the URL: https://msft.adstream.com

   c. In the Relay State textbox, type the URL: https://a5.adstream.com/projects#/projects/projects

6. On the Set-up single sign-on with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Federation Metadata XML and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

   

7. On the Set up Adstream section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

   

Configure Adstream SSO

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

Create Adstream test user

In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in Adstream. Work with Adstream support team to add the users in the Adstream 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, this will redirect to Adstream Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

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

• You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you click the Adstream tile in the My Apps, this will redirect to Adstream Sign-on URL. For more information, see Microsoft Entra My Apps.
