Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Miro

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Miro 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 Miro.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Miro, perform the following steps:

1. 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.
2. Configure Miro SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
   1. Create Miro test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Miro that's linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of user.
3. Test SSO - to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

Follow these steps to enable Microsoft Entra SSO.

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

2. Browse to Entra ID > Enterprise apps > Miro application integration page, find the Manage section and select 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, perform the following step:

   a. In the Identifier text box, type one of the following URL/pattern:

   Identifier
   https://miro.com/
   https://<SUBDOMAIN>.miro.com/<ORG_ID>/<SAMLSETTINGS_ID>
   https://miro.com/<ORG_ID>/<SAMLSETTINGS_ID>
   https://<SUBDOMAIN>.miro.com/<ORG_ID>

   b. In the Reply URL text box, type one of the following URL/pattern:

   Reply URL
   https://miro.com/sso/saml
   https://<SUBDOMAIN>.miro.com/sso/saml/<ORG_ID>
   https://miro.com/sso/saml/<ORG_ID>/<SAMLSETTINGS_ID>
   https://<SUBDOMAIN>.miro.com/sso/saml/<ORG_ID>/<SAMLSETTINGS_ID>

6. Perform the following step, if you wish to configure the application in SP initiated mode:

   In the Sign-on URL text box, type the URL: https://miro.com/sso/login/

   Note

   These values aren't real. Update these values with the actual Identifier and Reply URL. Contact Miro support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section in the Microsoft Entra admin center.

7. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Certificate (Base64) and select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer. You need it to configure SSO on the Miro side.

   

8. On the Set up Miro section, copy the Login URL. You need it to configure SSO on the Miro side.

   

Create and assign Microsoft Entra test user

Follow the guidelines in the create and assign a user account quickstart to create a test user account called B.Simon.

Configure Miro SSO

To configure single sign-on on Miro side, use the certificate you previously downloaded and the Login URL you previously copied. In the Miro account settings go to the Security section and toggle on Enable SSO/SAML.

1. Paste the Login URL in the SAML Sign-in URL field.

2. Open the certificate file with a text editor and copy the certificate sequence. Paste the sequence in the Key x509 Certificate field.

3. In the Domains field type in your domain address, select Add and follow the verification procedure. Repeat for your other domain addresses if you have any. The Miro SSO feature is working for the end users which domains are on the list.

4. Decide if you be using Just in Time provisioning (pulling your users into your subscription during their registration in Miro) and select Save to complete the SSO configuration on the Miro side.

Create Miro test user

In this section, a user called B.Simon is created in Miro. Miro 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 Miro, a new one is created after authentication.

Test SSO

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

SP initiated:

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

IDP initiated:

• Select Test this application, in Azure portal and choose to log in as B.Simon. You should be automatically signed in to the Miro subscription for which you set up the SSO.

You can also use Microsoft My Apps to test the application in any mode. When you select the Miro 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 Miro for which you set up the SSO. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
