Tutorial: Microsoft Entra single sign-on integration with Prezi

  • Article

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

  • Control who has access to Prezi in Microsoft Entra ID.
  • Enable your users to be automatically signed in to Prezi with their Microsoft Entra accounts.
  • Manage your accounts.

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.
  • A Prezi subscription enabled with single sign-on (SSO).

Scenario description

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

  • Prezi supports SP and IDP initiated SSO.
  • Prezi 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 Prezi into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Prezi 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, enter Prezi in the search box.
  4. Select Prezi from the 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, as well as walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Prezi

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Prezi by using a test user called B.Simon. For SSO to work, you establish a link relationship between a Microsoft Entra user and the related user in Prezi.

To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Prezi, 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 SSO with B.Simon.
    2. Assign the Microsoft Entra test user to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra SSO.
  2. Configure Prezi SSO to configure the SSO settings on the application side.
    1. Create a Prezi test user to have a counterpart of B.Simon in Prezi that's linked to the Microsoft Entra representation of the user.
  3. Test SSO to verify whether the configuration works.

Configure Microsoft Entra SSO

To enable Microsoft Entra SSO in the Azure portal:

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

  2. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Prezi 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 to edit the settings on Basic SAML Configuration.

    Edit Basic SAML Configuration settings

  5. In the Basic SAML Configuration section, the user doesn't have to do any step because the app is already preintegrated with Azure.

  6. Select Set additional URLs, and do the following step if you want to configure the application in SP-initiated mode:

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

  7. Select Save.

  8. The Prezi application expects the SAML assertions in a specific format, which requires you to add custom attribute mappings to your SAML token attributes configuration. The following screenshot shows the list of default attributes.

    User Attributes & Claims

  9. The Prezi application also expects a few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response, as shown here. These attributes are also prepopulated, but you can review them based on your requirements.

    Name Source attribute
    given_name user.givenname
    family_name user.surname

  10. On the Set up Single Sign-On with SAML page, in the SAML Signing Certificate section, find Certificate (Base64). Select Download to download the certificate and save it on your computer.

  11. In the Set up Prezi section, copy the appropriate URLs based on your requirements.

    Copy configuration URLs

Create a Microsoft Entra test user

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

  1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a User Administrator.
  2. Browse to Identity > Users > All users.
  3. Select New user > Create new user, at the top of the screen.
  4. In the User properties, follow these steps:
    1. In the Display name field, enter B.Simon.
    2. In the User principal name field, enter the username@companydomain.extension. For example, B.Simon@contoso.com.
    3. Select the Show password check box, and then write down the value that's displayed in the Password box.
    4. Select Review + create.
  5. Select Create.

Assign the Microsoft Entra test user

In this section, you enable B.Simon to use Azure SSO by granting access to Prezi.

  1. Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications.
  2. In the applications list, select Prezi.
  3. In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.
  4. Select Add user, and then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog box.
  5. In the Users and groups dialog box, select B.Simon from the users list, and click Select at the bottom of the screen.
  6. If you're expecting any role value in the SAML assertion, in the Select Role dialog box, select the appropriate role for the user from the list and then click Select at the bottom of the screen.
  7. In the Add Assignment dialog box, select Assign.

Configure Prezi SSO

  1. In a different web browser window, sign in to Prezi with your team account and go to the Admin Console.

  2. From the Admin Console, select the Settings tab.

  4. In the Single sign-on (SSO) section, follow these steps:

    Single sign-on (SSO) section

    1. In the Identifier or Issuer URL box, paste the Microsoft Entra Identifier value, which you copied.

    2. In the SAML 2.0 Endpoint (HTTP) box, paste the Login URL value, which you copied.

    3. Open the downloaded Certificate (Base64) into Notepad. Copy the contents of the certificate, and paste the contents into the Certificate (X.509) box.

    4. Select Save.

Create a Prezi test user

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

  • Go to Prezi 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 Prezi 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 Prezi 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 Prezi 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 Prezi 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.
