This integration is also available to use from Microsoft Entra US Government Cloud environment. You can find this application in the Microsoft Entra US Government Cloud Application Gallery and configure it in the same way as you do from public cloud.

Scenario description

In this tutorial, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.

Lucid (All Products) supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
Lucid (All Products) 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.

Add Lucid (All Products) from the gallery

To configure the integration of Lucid (All Products) into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Lucid (All Products) from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Lucid (All Products)

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Lucid (All Products) 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 Lucid (All Products).

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Lucid (All Products), perform the following steps:

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.
Configure Lucid (All Products) SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
1. Create Lucid (All Products) test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Lucid (All Products) that is linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.

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.
On the Set up Lucid (All Products) section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.

Create a Microsoft Entra test user

In this section, you'll create a test user called B.Simon.

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a User Administrator.
Browse to Identity > Users > All users.
Select New user > Create new user, at the top of the screen.
In the User properties, follow these steps:
1. In the Display name field, enter B.Simon.

Assign the Microsoft Entra test user

In this section, you'll enable B.Simon to use single sign-on by granting access to Lucid (All Products).

Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a Cloud Application Administrator.
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Lucid (All Products).
In the app's overview page, select Users and groups.
Select Add user/group, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
1. In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
2. 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.
3. In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.

Configure Lucid (All Products) SSO

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

Create Lucid (All Products) test user

In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Lucid (All Products). Lucid (All Products) 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 Lucid (All Products), 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 the Lucid (All Products) sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to Lucid (All Products) 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 Lucid (All Products) 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 Lucid (All Products) 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 Lucid (All Products) 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 Lucid (All Products) 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.
