Tutorial: Microsoft Entra integration with Bugsnag

  • Article

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

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

Scenario description

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

  • Bugsnag supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
  • Bugsnag supports 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.

To configure the integration of Bugsnag into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Bugsnag 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 Bugsnag in the search box.
  4. Select Bugsnag 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, and walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Create Bugsnag test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Bugsnag. Bugsnag 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 Bugsnag, 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 Bugsnag Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.

  • Go to Bugsnag 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 Bugsnag 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 Bugsnag 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 Bugsnag 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 Bugsnag 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.
