Microsoft Entra integration with Fuse

  • Article

In this article, you'll learn how to integrate Fuse with Microsoft Entra ID. Fuse is a learning platform that enables learners within an organization to access the necessary knowledge and expertise they need to improve their skills at work. When you integrate Fuse with Microsoft Entra ID, you can:

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

You'll configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on for Fuse in a test environment. Fuse supports 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 Fuse, 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.
  • Fuse 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 Fuse 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 Fuse from the Microsoft Entra application gallery to configure single sign-on with Fuse. 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 single sign-on

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 > Fuse > 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, in the Sign-on URL text box, the appropriate URL using the following pattern: https://{tenantname}.fuseuniversal.com/

    Note

    The value is not real. Update the value with the actual Sign-On URL. Contact Fuse Client support team to get the value. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.

  6. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, select Download to download the Certificate (Base64) from the given options as per your requirement and save it on your computer.

  7. On the Set up Fuse section, copy the appropriate URL(s) as per your requirement.

Configure Fuse single sign-on

To configure single sign-on on Fuse side, send the downloaded Certificate (Base64) and the copied URLs from Azure portal to Fuse support team. The support team will use the copied URLs to configure the single sign-on on the application.

Create Fuse test user

To be able to test and use single sign-on, you have to create and activate users in the fuse application.

In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in Fuse that corresponds with the Microsoft Entra user you already created in the previous section. Work with Fuse support team to add the user in the Fuse platform.

Test single sign-on

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

  • In the Test single sign-on with Fuse section on the SAML-based Sign-on pane, select Test this application in Azure portal. You'll be redirected to Fuse Sign-on URL where you can initiate the sign-in flow.
  • Go to Fuse Sign-on URL directly and initiate the sign-in flow from application's side.
  • You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you select the Fuse tile in the My Apps, you'll be redirected to Fuse Sign-on URL. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
