Add Folloze from the gallery
To configure the integration of Folloze into Microsoft Entra ID, you need to add Folloze from the gallery to your list of managed SaaS apps.
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO for Folloze
Configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Folloze 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 Folloze.
To configure and test Microsoft Entra SSO with Folloze, perform the following steps:
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Folloze > Single sign-on.
On the Select a single sign-on method page, select SAML.
On the Set up single sign-on with SAML page, click the pencil icon for Basic SAML Configuration to edit the settings.
On the Basic SAML Configuration section, the application is pre-configured in IDP initiated mode and the necessary URLs are already pre-populated with Azure. The user needs to save the configuration by clicking the Save button.
Folloze 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, Folloze 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 requirement.
Name
Source Attribute
Email
user.othermail
Nameasemail
user.userprincipalname
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.
On the Set up Folloze 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.
Browse to Identity > Applications > Enterprise applications > Folloze.
In the app's overview page, find the Manage section and select Users and groups.
Select Add user, then select Users and groups in the Add Assignment dialog.
In the Users and groups dialog, select B.Simon from the Users list, then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
If you're expecting any role value in the SAML assertion, in the Select Role dialog, select the appropriate role for the user from the list and then click the Select button at the bottom of the screen.
In the Add Assignment dialog, click the Assign button.
Configure Folloze SSO
To configure single sign-on on Folloze side, you need to send the downloaded Certificate (Base64) and appropriate copied URLs from the application configuration to Folloze support team. They set this setting to have the SAML SSO connection set properly on both sides.
Create Folloze test user
In this section, a user called Britta Simon is created in Folloze. Folloze 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 Folloze, a new one is created after authentication.
Test SSO
In this section, you test your Microsoft Entra single sign-on configuration with following options.
Click on Test this application, and you should be automatically signed in to the Folloze for which you set up the SSO.
