Add IMPAC Risk Manager from the gallery
To configure the integration of IMPAC Risk Manager into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add IMPAC Risk Manager from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for IMPAC Risk Manager
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with IMPAC Risk Manager 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 IMPAC Risk Manager.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with IMPAC Risk Manager, perform the following steps:
Create IMPAC Risk Manager test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in IMPAC Risk Manager that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.
These values are not real. Update these values with the actual Identifier, Reply URL and Sign-on URL. Contact IMPAC Risk Manager Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.
On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, click Download to download the Certificate (Base64) from the given options as per your requirement and save it on your computer.
On the Set up IMPAC Risk Manager section, copy the appropriate URL(s) as per your requirement.
Create a Microsoft Entra test user
In this section, you'll create a test user called B.Simon.
In the app's overview page, select Users and groups.
Select Add user/group, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
If you are expecting a role to be assigned to the users, you can select it from the Select a role dropdown. If no role has been set up for this app, you see "Default Access" role selected.
In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.
Configure IMPAC Risk Manager SSO
To configure single sign-on on IMPAC Risk Manager side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Base64) and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to IMPAC Risk Manager support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
Create IMPAC Risk Manager test user
In this section, you create a user called Britta Simon in IMPAC Risk Manager. Work with IMPAC Risk Manager support team to add the users in the IMPAC Risk Manager 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.
SP initiated:
Click on Test this application, this will redirect to IMPAC Risk Manager Sign on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to IMPAC Risk Manager 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 IMPAC Risk Manager 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 IMPAC Risk Manager 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 IMPAC Risk Manager for which you set up the SSO.
