- A Microsoft Entra user account with an active subscription. If you don't already have one, you can Create an account for free.
- One of the following roles:
- 4me single sign-on (SSO) enabled subscription.
Note
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 article, you configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO in a test environment.
- 4me supports SP initiated SSO.
- 4me supports Just In Time user provisioning.
- 4me supports Automated user provisioning.
Add 4me from the gallery
To configure the integration of 4me into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add 4me 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.
- Browse to Entra ID > Enterprise apps > New application.

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, and walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for 4me
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with 4me 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 4me.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with 4me, complete the following building blocks:
- Configure Microsoft Entra SSO - to enable your users to use this feature.
- Create a Microsoft Entra test user - to test Microsoft Entra single sign-on with B.Simon.
- Assign the Microsoft Entra test user - to enable B.Simon to use Microsoft Entra single sign-on.
- Configure 4me SSO - to configure the single sign-on settings on application side.
- Create 4me test user - to have a counterpart of B.Simon in 4me that's 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.
Browse to Entra ID > Enterprise apps > 4me > Single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, select the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, enter the values for the following fields:
a. In the Sign on URL text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Environment URL PRODUCTION https://<SUBDOMAIN>.4me.com
QA https://<SUBDOMAIN>.4me.qa
b. In the Identifier (Entity ID) text box, type a URL using one of the following patterns:
Environment URL PRODUCTION https://<SUBDOMAIN>.4me.com
QA https://<SUBDOMAIN>.4me.qa
Note
These values aren't real. Update these values with the actual Sign on URL and Identifier. Contact 4me Client support team to get these values. You can also refer to the patterns shown in the Basic SAML Configuration section.
4me 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.
In addition to above, 4me application expects few more attributes to be passed back in SAML response which are shown below. These attributes are also pre populated but you can review them as per your requirements.

In the SAML Signing Certificate section, copy the THUMBPRINT and save it on your computer.
On the Set up 4me section, copy the appropriate URL(s) based on your requirement.
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 4me SSO

Create 4me test user
In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in 4me. 4me 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 4me, a new one is created after authentication.
Note
If you need to create a user manually, contact 4me support team.
Test SSO
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
Select Test this application, this option redirects to 4me Sign-on URL where you can initiate the login flow.
Go to 4me Sign-on URL directly and initiate the login flow from there.
You can use Microsoft My Apps. When you select the 4me tile in the My Apps, this option redirects to 4me Sign-on URL. For more information about the My Apps, see Introduction to the My Apps.
