Configure EverBridge for Single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID

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

  • Control in Microsoft Entra ID who has access to EverBridge.
  • Allow your users to be automatically signed in to EverBridge with their Microsoft Entra accounts. This access control is called single sign-on (SSO).
  • Manage your accounts in one central location by using the Azure portal.

Prerequisites

The scenario outlined in this article assumes that you already have the following prerequisites:

  • An EverBridge subscription that uses single sign-on.

Scenario description

In this article, you configure and test Microsoft Entra single sign-on in a test environment.

  • EverBridge supports IDP-initiated SSO.
  • EverBridge supports SP-initiated SSO.

To configure the integration of EverBridge into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add EverBridge 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 Entra ID > Enterprise apps > New application.
  3. In the Add from the gallery section, type EverBridge in the search box.
  4. Select EverBridge from 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, and walk through the SSO configuration as well. Learn more about Microsoft 365 wizards.

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for EverBridge

Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with EverBridge 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 EverBridge.

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